Tosefta for Shabbat 121:4

ודילמא כחייא בר רב ס"ל והכי קאמר עשית של שמאל מכה

[No]. Perhaps he agrees with Hiyya b. Rab, and he meant thus: You treat the left [foot] as through it had a wound? Now, R. Johanan [here] follows his general view. For R. Johanan said: Like tefillin, so are shoes: just as tefillin [are donned] on the left [hand], so are shoes [put on] the left [foot first]. An objection is raised: When one puts on his shoes, he must put on the right first and then the left? — Said R. Joseph: Now that it was taught thus, while R. Johanan said the reverse, he who acts in either way acts [well].<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' [It is left to each individual to decide for himself whether to assign pride of place to the right or left side each enjoys in some respects distinction over the other.

Tosefta Demai

[The produce sold by] a merchant in every place presumed to be Demai, regardless of whether he is a Gentile or a Jew or a Samaritan. What are we talking about here? [This refers to] a situation where they bring him [produce to sell] from a Jew, but if they bring him [produce to sell] from a Gentile or from a Samaritan, it is presumed to be certainly untithed. What is a "merchant"? Anyone who brings [produce] and comes back a second time and a third time (see Shab. 61a:16 re "וְשָׁנָה, וְשִׁלֵּשׁ").
