Tosefta for Ketubot 51:2
ור' חייא מסיים בה וחבירי בדילין ממני והיו קורין אותי יוחנן אוכל חלות והעלהו רבי לכהונה על פיו
And R. Hiyya added: And my friends kept away from me and called me ‘Yohanan the hallot-eater.” And Rabbi raised him to the priesthood on his testimony.
Tosefta Peah
Rabbi Shimon ben Gamliel says, "Just as the the presumptive status for the priesthood [is established by] the distribution of Terumah on the threshing floors (following Ketubot 25b:2, Steinsaltz tr.), so too, is the presumptive status for the Levites [established by] the distribution of the first tithe on the threshing floors. [However,] the distribution in the court does not [establish] for him the presumption of the priesthood (Ketubot 26a:7).
