: I recall that there is a machloket whether the days of Ezra is to
: be taken literally or includes conquests of the Chashmanoim.

Obviously this gemara in Demai assumes the former.>>

>From Encylopedia Talmudit:

Mor UKetzia assumes that any land conquered during bayit rishon
is considered land from yotzei Mitzrayim. Similarly land conquered
during bayit sheni is kedusha from Ezra.

The Kesef Mishna Shmitta and Yovel 4:28 takes it for granted
that the cities conquered by Yannai have kedusha of Ezra.
So he obviously learned differently in Demai
