Reference for Sotah 38:7
רבנן סברי והשקה קמא לגופו שמשקה ואח"כ מקריב את מנחתה ואחר ישקה מיבעי ליה לשרישומו ניכר והשקה בתרא שאם נמחקה מגילה ואומרת איני שותה מערערין אותה ומשקה אותה בעל כרחה
Does R. Akiba hold that they give her to drink by force? Surely it has been taught: R. Judah says: They insert iron tongs into her mouth, so that if [the writing on] the scroll has been obliterated and she says 'l refuse to drink', they exert influence upon her and make her drink by force. R. Akiba says: Do we require anything else than to prove her, and is she not actually proved!<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Her refusal to drink is interpreted as an admission of guilt. R. Akiba is therefore against force being used. ');"><sup>7</sup></span>
