הוא דאמר כחנן המצרי דתניא חנן המצרי אומר אפילו דם בכוס מביא חבירו ומזווג לו
R. Nahman said in the name of Rabbah b. Abbuha [in Rab's name]: If a ring of idolatry was mixed up with a hundred rings, and one of them fell into the Great Sea, all are permitted, because we say: The one which fell was the one which was forbidden. Raba raised an objection to R. Nahman: EVEN ONE IN TEN THOUSAND, ALL MUST BE LEFT TO DIE. Yet why so; let us say that the first which dies is the forbidden one? Said he to him: Rab ruled in accordance with R. Eliezer, for we learnt: R. Eliezer said: if he offered the head of one of them, all the heads may be offered. But surely R. Eleazar said: R. Eliezer permitted [them to be offered] only in twos, but not singly? - I also meant in twos, he replied.
Tosefta Terumot
Rabbi Yehuda says, sweet pomegranates are forbidden in any quantity. How so? One of them [designated as terumah] fell inside ten thousand (רבוא) [of chullin], all are forbidden. [Even if] it fell from ten thousand inside another ten thousand, all are forbidden. Rabbi Shimon ben Yehuda says in the name of Rabbi Shimon, [if] one of them fell inside ten thousand, all are forbidden, [but if one] fell from ten thousand inside a third [container of ten thousand], and from the third [container] to another place, [at that point there is a] doubt whether they are forbidden because it is a a doubt regarding a forbidden mixture [which is treated leniently]. Said Rabbi Yehuda ben Bava (per MSS), "I am one of those fit to issue a ruling, and if they were to bring me beet shoots, I say, that they would be lifted up in [a proportion greater than] one hundred and one [to one], and not only that, the Beit Din should issue a ruling that in every case [involving any species, terumah mixed with chullin is] lifted up at one hundred and one [to one]."
