רבא אמר שמואל שפיר קא משני ליה שם מיתה בעולם:
A breadseller buys from two or three. Hence in the case of a baker too, [you must say that] he buys from one man [only].<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' The use of 'too' is thus meant; just as one is bound to find a reason for his ruling on a breadseller, so can one also reconcile his ruling on a baker. ');"><sup>21</sup></span> Raba said: Samuel answered well: The designation of death exists.<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Lit., 'is in the world.' I.e., in both cases there is a death penalty, and the fact that one is at the hand of Heaven only whilst the other is imposed by court does not vitiate the argument. ');"><sup>22</sup></span>
Tosefta Demai
They did not permit selling Demai except to a wholesale dealer (=סיטון, per Jastrow). A homeowner who sells both this and that (i.e., both large and small quantities, per Lieberman) needs to tithe, the words of Rabbi Meir. But the Sages say, one wholesale dealer and one homeowner are permitted to sell [Demai] and to send it to their friend, and give it to him as a present.

Tosefta Demai
One who purchases from a merchant tithes from each and every [bread] mold (see Menachot 94a:11), and if [the merchant] was bringing [vegetables from various farmers] and gathering them before [the purchaser], he takes tithes from each and every cucumber and from each and every bunch [of vegetables], and from each and every date. One who purchases from a shopkeeper, and goes back and takes from him a second time, even though he recognizes the barrel [of wine], he may not tithe from this [purchase] on behalf of that [prior purchase (see Dem. 5:6)].
