maseches shabbos - Source of the first verse of the sectarian


It has been proposed that Rabban Gamliel quoted from Matthew 5 17 in his debate with a sectarian in maseches Shabbos 116a-b. See here http://www.jewishencyclopedia.com/articles/6495-gamaliel-ii


My question is concerning the sectarian's original quote. That a son and a daughter inherit equally. Is this an actual quote from somewhere?


Note the Yerushalmi in Bava Basra 8:1 says the חכמי עכום had a drasha for this law of theirs. But I'm seeking for a simple way to read the Bavli according to this understanding.
