Jerusalem Talmud Kilayim 7.4

משנה: הָאַנָּס שֶׁזָרַע אֶת הַכֶּרֶם וְיָצָא מִלְּפָנָיו קוֹצְרִין אֲפִילוּ בְּמוֹעֵד. עַד כַּמָּה הוּא נוֹתֵן לַפּוֹעֲלִין עַד שְׁלִישׁ. יוֹתֵר מִיכֵּן קוֹצֵר וְהוֹלֵךְ אֲפִילוּ לְאַחַר הַמּוֹעֵד. מֵאֵימָתַי נִקְרָא אַנָּס מִשֶּׁיִּשְׁקַע.

MISHNAH: The rapist who sowed in a vineyard and it was taken from him, one cuts it even during a holiday. How much does he have to give to the workers? Up to one third. More than that he cuts normally, even after the holiday. When is the property called the rapist’s? From the moment it is sunk.

הלכה: רִבִּי בָּא בַּר יַעֲקֹב בְּשֵׁם רִבִּי יוֹחָנָן כֵּינִי מַתְנִיתָא מוּתָּר לְקוֹצְרוֹ אֲפִילוּ בְּמוֹעֵד.

HALAKHAH: Rebbi Abba bar Jacob in the name of Rebbi Joḥanan: So is the Mishnah: One may harvest it even on a holiday.

עַד כַּמָּה הוּא נוֹתֵן [לַפּוֹעֲלִין] עַד שְׁלִישׁ. רַב חוּנָא וְרַב שֵׁשֶׁת חַד אָמַר שְׁלִיש לְשָׂכָר וְחָרָנָה אָמַר שְׁלִישׁ לְדָמִים.

“How much does he have to give to the workers? Up to one third.” Rav Ḥuna and Rav Sheshet: One of them says, a third of the wages, the other says, a third of the value.

מֵאֵימָתַי נִקְרָא אַנָּס מִשֶּׁיִּשְׁקַע. אָמַר רִבִּי אָחָא נִשְׁתַּקְעוּ הַבְּעָלִים וְלֹא נִתְיָיאֲשׁוּ הַבְּעָלִים אִיסּוּרוֹ דְּבַר תּוֹרָה. נִתְיָיאֲשׁוּ הַבְּעָלִים וְלֹא נִשְׁתַּקְעוּ הַבְּעָלִים אִיסּוּרָן מִדִּבְרֵיהֶן. וְיֵשׁ קַרְקַע נִגְזָל. אָמַר רִבִּי לָא אַף עַל פִּי שֶׁאֵין קַרְקַע נִגְזָל יֵשׁ יֵיאוּשׁ לְקַרְקַע.

“When is the property called the rapist’s? From the moment it is sunk.” Rebbi Aḥa said: If the owners were forgotten but did not give up hope, the prohibition of the field is biblical. If the owners did give up hope but they were not forgotten, the prohibition of the field is rabbinic. But can real estate be robbed? Rebbi La said, even though real estate cannot be robbed, one can give up hope on real estate.
