Jul 21, 2022 at 15:56 comment added malkizedek @Chatzkel See the Pnei Moshe in the Yerushalmi (ד"ה והסקריקון), it seems he learns the Mishna to refer to a Jewish sikrikon. However, I've edited my answer above to include the case of a non-Jewish sikrikon who sells the land to a Jew.

Jul 21, 2022 at 2:36 comment added Chatzkel The Tiferes Yisroel on the Mishnah in Bikkurim explains that it refers to land that a Jew bought from a non Jewish sikrikon. Rashi in Gittin clearly states that sikrikon is not Jewish
Jul 20, 2022 at 14:42 comment added Deuteronomy The term can also be shorthand for the status of the land (i.e. purchased from the gentile סקריקון who took it/purchased at lower than market cost from the original Jewish owner), and not to people. Accordingly, the Mishnah can be read as prohibiting bikkurim to be brought from a Jew in possession of land under this status (i.e. the original Jewish owner has not been made whole by means of compensation from the new Jewish owner).
