Quotation for Makkot 6:5
אמר רב כהנא אף אנן נמי תנינא אומדין כמה אדם רוצה ליתן ויהיו אלף זוז בידו בין ליתן מכאן ועד ל' יום ובין ליתן מכאן ועד עשר שנים ואי אמרת שביעית משמטתו כולהו נמי בעו שלומי ליה
R' Kahana said, we also learnt, 'We assess how much he would pay to have the thousand zuz in his possession in thirty days instead of a ten years.' and if you were to say that the Sabbatical cancels the loan, the witnesses would have to pay the whole debt.
Mishnah Sheviit
One who slaughters a cow and divides it up on Rosh Hashanah [at the end of the seventh year]: If the month had been intercalated, [the debt] is remitted. But if it had not been intercalated, it is not remitted. [Fines for] rape, for seduction, for defamation, and all other obligations arising from legal procedure, are not remitted. One who loans and takes a pledge, and one who hands over his debt documents to a court, [these debts] are not remitted.
