Mesorat%20hashas for Shevuot 44:1

וחכמים אומרים בין הוא ובין חבירו לא מעל לפי שאין מעילה בקונמות

<br> And the Sages say: Neither he nor his neighbour trespasses [by eating it], for there is no trespass in Konamoth. - Reverse it: Neither he nor his neighbour trespasses, for there is no trespass in Konamoth: this is the opinion of R. Meir. And the Sages say: He trespasses, but his neighbour does not trespass. If so, 'R. Meir says: Konamoth are like oaths', implying that Konamoth do not combine, but there is trespass in them? Yet R. Meir says: There is no trespass in Konamoth at all! - According to the views of the Sages he is replying: As for me, I hold there is no trespass in Konamoth at all; but as for you, admit to me at least that Konamoth are like oaths [and do not combine]. And the Sages? - [They reply:] In oaths there is the reason of R. Phinehas; in Konamoth there is not the reason of R. Phinehas. <br>
