Talmud for Arakhin 41:21

Rebbi Abba bar Cahana asked before Rebbi Immi: If one leased his house to another and needs the money? He said to him, it is unthinkable that he should have to starve to death¹⁹³He accepts the rule of Roman law that sale breaks lease.. Rebbi Zeˋira, Rebbi [Il]la both say, μίστωσις like ὠνή is acquired by buying¹⁹⁴S. Liebermann’s remark is convincing that they choose to formulate the statement in Greek terms, “lease is acquired like a buy by acquisition” to make the point of their rejection of the Roman law clear to all traders.

He could not have agreed with the underlying principle since he was a student of his father R. Jonah, student of R. Jeremiah, student of R. Zeˋira..
