Quotation for Bava Kamma 203:11
ר' יהושע בן קרחה מאי היא דתניא רבי יהושע בן קרחה אומר מלוה בשטר אין נפרעין מהן מלוה על פה נפרעין מהן מפני שהוא כמציל מידם
Now, whose view would be followed in that statement which was taught: '"<i>for food</i>" but not for a plaster. "<i>for food</i>" but not for perfume, "<i>for food</i>" but not to make it into an emetic'? — It must be in accordance with R. Jose, for if in accordance with the Rabbis, the purpose of washing and steeping [should also be excluded].
Jerusalem Talmud Avodah Zarah
One understands “to lend;” “to borrow” from them? Because he increases his reputation. One understands “to give them loans;” “to ask them for loans”? Because he increases his reputation. One understands “to pay debts to them;” “to accept payment from them”? That he should not say, his pagan worship had helped him45Babli 6b.. Rebbi Abba bar Tevelai in the name of Rav: If it was a loan in danger of being lost it is permitted. It was stated thus: A loan in danger of being lost, by witnesses. A loan not in danger of being lost, by document46Babli Bava qamma102a.. Even a loan by document is in danger of being lost, for not at all times does a person succeed in liquidating his debt47Quoted in Tosaphot 2a, s.v. ולפרוע.. How is this? A loan not in danger of being lost, by pledge. A loan in danger of being lost, not by pledge. It was found following the former [opinion]: A loan in danger of being lost, by witnesses. A loan not in danger of being lost, by document.
