Tosefta for Bekhorot 61:39
וכדאמר רב חסדא א"ר יוחנן
- I may still say it refers to one person and as R'Hisda reported in the name of R'Johanan elsewhere that it was a case of an individual expert, so also here it is the case of an individual expert [who examined the firstling].'
Tosefta Demai
Originally they (i.e., the Sages) said that [as to] a chaver that becomes a tax collector, we force him out of the chaverut [presumably, permanently], and then they reconsidered to say, that as long as he is a tax collector, he is not [even considered] trustworthy, [but once he] separates from [his office of] tax collector, behold, he is [considered] trustworthy. (Cf. Bekh. 31a:4.)
