Midrash for Gittin 71:7

to prevent abuses, as it has been taught: At first the witness used simply to write, 'I, So-and-so,<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' [Without specifying his name (Rashi). The term 'So-and-so' however, hardly bears this interpretation. Tosef. Git, VII omits 'So-and-so' and reads simply 'I am witness'; cf. previous note]. ');"><sup>6</sup></span>
Sifrei Devarim
"You shall observe shemittah. And this is the word of the shemitah: Every creditor shall release his claim" - As long as you have shemittah (of fields) you must observe shemittah (of releasing claims).
