וכן אבטיח שנתגלתה אע"פ שאכלו ממנה ט' בני אדם ולא מתו לא יאכל ממנה עשירי מעשה היה ואכלו ממנה תשעה ולא מתו ואכל עשירי ומת א"ר זהו שוקע

Likewise if a [cut] melon was left uncovered and nine persons ate of it without dying, it is forbidden for a tenth person to eat from it, for it once happened that nine persons ate of such a one and did not die and the tenth one who ate it died; and Rav said that it was a case of venom that sank to the bottom.
