Jerusalem Talmud Yevamot 16.9

משנה: אָמְרוּ לוֹ מַעֲשֶׂה בִּבְנֵי לֵוִי שֶׁהָלְכוּ לְצוֹעַר עִיר הַתְּמָרִים וְחָלָה אֶחָד מֵהֶם בַּדֶּרֶךְ וְהִנִּיחוּהוּ בַפּוּנְדָּק וּבַחֲזָרָתָם אָמְרוּ לַפּוּנדָקִית אַיּוֹ חֲבֵירֵינוּ נוֹמַת לָהֶם מֵת וּקְבַרְתִּיו וְהִשִּׂיאוּ אֶת אִשְׁתּוֹ. אָמְרוּ לוֹ וְלֹא תְהֵא כֹהֶנֶת כַּפּוּנְדָקִית. אָמַר לָהֶן לִכְשֶׁתְּהֵא הַפּוּנדָקִית נֶאֱמֶנֶת. וְהַפּוּנדָקִית הוֹצִיאָה לָהֶן מַקְלֹו וְתַרְמִילוֹ וְסֵפֶר תּוֹרָה שֶׁהָיָה בְיָדוֹ.

MISHNAH: They said to him, it happened that Levites went to Zoar the town of date palms when one one them fell ill and they left him at an inn On their return they asked the women innkeeper,where is our colleague? She told them, he died and I buried him; and they let his widow remarry. They said to him, should not the wife of a Cohen be like a women innkeeper? He retorted, if she is in the position of the women innkeeper. For the women innkeeper delivered to them his stick, his back pack and the Torah scroll that had been in his hand.

הלכה: הַפּוּנדָקִית הוֹצִיאָה לָהֶן מַקְלוֹ וּמַנְעָלָיו וַאֲפוּנדָתוֹ וְסֵפֶר תּוֹרָה שֶׁהָיָה בְיָדוֹ. רִבִּי אָחָא בְשֵׁם רִבִּי חיננא. עָשׂוּ אוֹתָהּ כִּי חַיָּה שֶׁהִיא נֶאֱמֶנֶת עַל אָתָר. אָמַר רִבִּי שְׁמוּאֵל בַּר סוֹסַרְטָא. עָשׂוּ אוֹתָהּ כְגוֹי מְסִיחַ לְתוּמּוֹ. חַד אֲרִיסְטוֹן בָּעֵי קוֹמֵי רִבִּי מָנָא. לֵית הָדָא פְלִיג עַל רִבִּי שִׁמְעוֹן בֶּן לָקִישׁ. דְּרִבִּי שִׁמְעוֹן בֶּן לָקִישׁ אָמַר. כָּל שֶׁשּׁוֹאֲלִין אוֹתוֹ וְהוּא מֵשִִׁיב. לֵית כָּן כְּהַהִיא דְאָמַר רִבִּי שְׁמוּאֵל בַּר סוֹסַרְטָא. אִית כָּן כְּהַהִיא דָמַר רִבִּי חֲנִינָה. עָשׂוּ אוֹתָהּ כְּחַיָּה שֶׁהִיא נֶאֱמֶנֶת עַל אָתָר.

HALAKHAH: “For the woman innkeeper delivered to them his stick, his shoes, his money belt, and the Torah scroll that had been in his hand.”. Rebbi Aḥa in the name of Rebbi Ḥanina: They treated her like a midwife who is trusted on the spot. Rebbi Samuel bar Sosarta said, they treated her like a Gentile speaking simplemindedly. A gentleman asked before Rebbi Mana, does that not contradict Rebbi Simeon ben Laqish, for Rebbi Simeon ben Laqish said, anybody one asks and he responds! The statement of Rebbi Samuel bar Sosarta is impossible; one has the statement of Rebbi Ḥanina: They treated her like a midwife who is trusted on the spot.
