[If] one bull was chasing another bull, and it was injured; [and] this one says: “Your bull injured [it],” and that one says: “Not so; it hurt itself on a rock,” the [burden of] proof lies on the one who seeks to exact [something] from the other.  [If] two were chasing one —- this one says: “Your bull injured [it],” and that one says: “Your bull injured [it],” both are exempt. If both belonged to one man, both are liable. [If] one was large and one small, [and] the damagee says: “Not so; the small one injured [it];” [or if] one was a tam and one a muad, [and] the damagee says: “The muad injured [it],” and the damager says: “Not so; the tam injured [it],” the [burden of] proof lies on the one who seeks to exact [something] from the other.  [If] the injured ones were two —- one large and one small —- and the damagers were two —- one large and one small —- [and] the damagee says: “The large one injured the large one, and the small one [injured] the small one,” and the damager says: “Not so; the small one [injured] the large one, and the large one the small one;” [or if] one was a tam and one was a muad, [and] the damagee says: “The muad injured the large one, and the tam the small one,” and the damager says: “Not so; the tam [injured] the large one, and the muad the small one” —- the [burden of] proof lies on the one who seeks to exact [something] from the other.

[If] a bull gores four or five bulls —- one after the other —- [its owner] shall pay the last of them. If there is an excess in it, he shall return [it] to the one before him; if there is an excess in it, he shall return [it] to the one before that one. The later the in-jury, the more the advantage —- [these are] the words of R' Meir.  R' Shimon says: [If] a bull worth two hundred gores a bull worth two hundred, and the carcass is worth nothing, this one takes a maneh, and this one takes a maneh. [If] it goes and gores another bull worth two hundred, the last one takes a hundred; [as for] those preceding him, this one takes a hundred; [as for] those preceding him, this one takes fifty zuz, and this one takes fifty zuz. [If] it goes and gores another bull worth two hundred, the last one takes a maneh; the one before him, fifty zuz; and the first two, a golden dinar [each].

[If] a bull is a muad toward its kind, but not a muad toward those not of its kind; a muad toward man, but not a muad toward beasts; [or] a muad toward small ones, but not a muad toward large ones —- [for] those toward which it is a muad, [its owner] pays the full damages; [for] those toward which it is not a muad, he pays half the damages.  They said before R' Yehudah: [What] if it was a muad for Sabbaths, and not a muad for weekdays? He said to them: For Sabbaths he pays the full damages; for weekdays he pays half the damages. When does it become a tam? When it refrains for three Sabbath days.

[If] a bull of a Jew gores a bull consecrated to the Temple, or [if] a bull consecrated to the Temple gores a bull of a Jew, [its owner] is exempt, as it is said (Exodus 21:35): another's bull, but not a bull consecrated to the Temple.  [If] a bull of a Jew gores a bull of a gentile, [the Jew] is exempt; but [if a bull] of a gentile gores a bull of a Jew —- whether [it be] a tam or a muad —- [the gentile] pays the full damages.
