Tosefta for Bava Kamma 233:4
לא מעיקרא סברי להפסד מרובה חששו להפסד מועט לא חששו ולבסוף סברי להפסד מועט נמי חששו
Now, this is so only because it was so laid down subsequently, whereas had it not been so laid down subsequently this would not have been so. Is the reason for this not because liability here is a [matter of mere] fine, [thus proving that] we cannot derive anything from a fine?<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' For if not so, why was it necessary to state explicit liability to the new case.

Tosefta Horayot
One who eats a sheketz (a detestable thing), he is an apostate. How so? An apostate [is one who] eats neveilot (carrion flesh) and terefot (meat from an animal that was not properly slaughtered), sheketzim or untithed produce, one who eats pig flesh or drinks wine of libation, or who desecrates the Sabbath (see Sanh. 8:2), and one who pours [wine of libation] (see Bava Kamma 117a:5). Rabbi Yosei son of Rabbi Yehudah says, even one who wears kilayim (i.e., garments of wool and linen). Rabbi Shimon son of Eliezer says, even one who does something that his inclination does not desire [i.e., even if the above acts were done without an evil intent].
