Mesorat%20hashas for Avodah Zarah 53:1

ברופא מומחה דכי אתא רב דימי א"ר יוחנן אם היה מומחה לרבים מותר

It has been stated: From where do we know that circumcision by a non Jew is invalid? Daru b. Papa said in the name of Rav: You shall keep my covenant (Gen 17:9). R. Yohanan said: Circumcised he hall be circumcised (Gen 17:13) - he who is circumcised shall circumcise. Rather there is between them - a woman. He who said: You shall keep my covenant - this isn't a possibility, for a woman isn't a bat- mila, and he who said Circumcised he shall be circumcised - this is a possibility, for a woman, too, is as if she is circumcised.
