בְּעוֹ מִינֵּיהּ מֵרַב עוּלָּא: עַד הֵיכָן כִּיבּוּד אָב וָאֵם? אָמַר לָהֶם: צְאוּ וּרְאוּ מָה עָשָׂה נׇכְרִי אֶחָד בְּאַשְׁקְלוֹן, וְדָמָא בֶּן נְתִינָה שְׁמוֹ. פַּעַם אַחַת בִּקְּשׁוּ חֲכָמִים פְּרַקְמַטְיָא בְּשִׁשִּׁים רִיבּוֹא שָׂכָר, וְהָיָה מַפְתֵּחַ מוּנָּח תַּחַת מְרַאֲשׁוֹתָיו שֶׁל אָבִיו, וְלֹא צִיעֲרוֹ.
They came before Rav Ulla [And asked] How much is one required to honor a father and mother? i.e. Are there any limits? and he said to them: Go out and see what one non-Jew in Ashkelon did; his name is Dama ben Nesina. One time the sages sought something worth 600,000 [dinar]. The key was placed under his father's head and Dama ben Nesina would not disturb his father to get the key.
