If one invites his friend to eat at his home and the friend does not trust him with regards to tithes, on the day before Shabbat he says, "That which I am going to separate tomorrow is [part of the] tithe, and the rest of the tithe will be next to it. That which I have designated as [part of the] tithe, the Terumat Ma'aser [a portion of the tithes that is given to the priest] is designated upon it. And Ma'aser Sheni [second tithe, must be eaten in Jerusalem] is on its north or south, and is hereby unconsecrated by [transferring its consecration to] coins."

When they mixed the cup for him he should say, "What I will leave at the bottom of the cup is [part of the] tithe, and the rest of the tithe will be next to it. That which I have designated as [part of the] tithe, the Terumat Ma'aser is designated upon it. And Ma'aser Sheni is at its mouth and is hereby unconsecrated by [transferring its consecration to] coins."

A worker who does not trust the Ba'al HaBayit [property owner] should take one dried fig and say, "This and the nine that follow it are [part of the] tithe for the ninety I eat. This [first] one is designated as Terumat Ma'aser upon them and Ma'aser Sheni is at the end and becomes unconsecrated by [transferring its consecration to] coins." He then withholds one dried fig. Rabbi Shimon ben Gamliel says, he does not withhold because he then reduces the work of the employer. Rabbi Yossi says he doesn't withhold due to an enactment of the court.

A man who buys wine from among the Cuthites should say, "Two Log [specific unit of volume] that I will separate are the Terumah, ten are the tithe, and nine are the Ma'aser Sheni. He then may begin and drink.

If a man had untithed figs in his house, and he is in the Beit HaMidrash [Hall of Study] or the field, he should say, "Two figs that I will separate are Terumah, and ten are [part of the] tithe, and nine are Ma'aser Sheni." If they are Demai [produce from which it is uncertain if tithes were already taken], he says, "What I will separate tomorrow are [part of the] tithe, and the rest of the tithe will be next to it. That which I have designated as [part of the] tithe, Terumat Ma'aser is designated upon it. And Ma'aser Sheni is on its north or south, and is hereby unconsecrated by [transferring its consecration to] coins.

If a man has two baskets of untithed produce before him and says, "The tithes of this one are in the other one," the first is tithed. [If he says,] "The [tithes of] this one are in the other one and of the other one are in this one," the first is tithed. [If he says,] "The tithes of each of them are the tithes of the other basket," it is a valid designation.

[If there is a mixture of] one hundred untithed and one hundred Chulin [non-sacred produce], he takes one hundred and one. [If there is a mixture of] one hundred untithed and one hundred tithes, he takes one hundred and one. [If there is a mixture of] one hundred non-sacral that have been fixed [tithed] and one hundred tithes, he takes one hundred and ten. [If there is a mixture of] one hundred untithed and ninety tithes, or ninety untithed and eighty tithes, he has lost nothing. This is the rule: as long as the untithed part is the greater part, he has lost nothing.

If one has ten rows of ten jars of wine and says, "One outside row is the tithe" and it is not known which [row] it is, he takes two jars diagonally. [If he said,] "Half of one outside row is the tithe" and it is not known which [row] it is, he takes four jars from the four corners. [If he said,] "One row is the tithe" and it is not known which [row] it is, he takes one diagonal row. [If he said,] "Half of one row is the tithe" and it is not known which one, he takes two diagonal rows. [If he said,] "One jar is the tithe" and it is not known which jar it is, he takes from every jar.
