Midrash for Bava Metzia 65:4

ומי מצית מוקמת לה כרבי יוסי הגלילי והא קתני סיפא תחת משאו ולא מפורק מאי לא מפורק אילימא לא מפורק כלל הא כתיב (דברים כב, ד) הקם תקים עמו אלא פשיטא לא מפורק בחנם אלא בשכר מאן שמעת ליה דאית ליה האי סברא רבנן לעולם ר' יוסי הגלילי היא ובטעינה סבר לה כרבנן

this proves it. But can you assign it to R. Jose the Galilean? Does not the second clause teach: <i>'under its burden'</i> but not if it is unloaded. What is meant by 'not if it is unloaded?' Shall we say, if it is unloaded, there is no obligation at all?<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Lit., 'it is not unloaded at all'. ');"><sup>4</sup></span>

Sifrei Devarim

(Devarim 22:1) "You shall not see (the ox of your brothers or his lamb straying and [you shall] ignore them. Return shall you return them to your brother." "You shall not see": I might think, even if he were a mil away; it is, therefore, written (Shemoth 23:4) "If you encounter (the ox of your foe, etc.") If "If you encounter," I might think, literally; it is, therefore, written "You shall not see." How is this to be resolved? The sages estimated one-seventh of a mil, a ris.
