[If] one strikes his father or his mother, but does not inflict a wound upon them, or [if] one wounds another on Yom Kippur, he is liable for all of them.  [If] one wounds a Jewish bondman, he is liable for all of them except loss of time when he is his. [If] one wounds a gentile slave belonging to others, he is liable for all of them. R' Yehudah says: Slaves have no [indemnity for] disgrace.

It is inadvisable to clash with a deaf-mute, a mentally deranged person, or a minor: [if] one wounds them, he is liable; but [if] they wound others, they are exempt. It is inadvisable to clash with a slave or with a woman: [if] one wounds them, he is liable; but [if] they wound others, they are exempt, although they must pay later. Should the woman become divorced, or the slave freed, they are obligated to pay.

[If] one strikes his father or his mother and inflicts a wound upon them, or [if] one wounds another on the Sabbath, he is exempt from all of them, because he is liable for his life. [If] one wounds his own gentile slave, he is exempt from all of them.

[If] one cuffs another, he must give him a sela; R' Yehudah says in the name of R' Yose the Galilean: A maneh.  [If] he slaps him, he must give him two hundred zuz; with the back of his hand, he must give him four hundred zuz. [If] he pulls his ear, tears his hair, spits at him and the spittle reaches him, removes his cloak, or uncovers a woman's hair in the street, he must pay four hundred zuz.  This is the general rule: it all depends on his wealth. Said R' Akiva: Even the poorest of Jews are looked upon as though they were sons of noblemen who lost their wealth, for they are the children of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.  There was an incident of one who uncovered a woman's hair in the street. She came before R' Akiva, who sentenced him to give her four hundred zuz. Said he to him: “Rabbi, give me time,” and he gave him time. He waited for her until he saw her standing at the entrance of her courtyard, and then broke a jug which contained oil worth an issar in her presence. She uncovered her head and was scooping [it] up and placing her hand on her head. He set up witnesses against her and came be-fore R' Akiva. Said he to him: “Rabbi, to this one I should give four hundred zuz?'' Said he to him: “You have said nothing; [be-cause if] one wounds himself, although he may not, he is exempt; [yet] if others wound him, they are liable. And [if] one cuts off his own shoots, although he may not, he is exempt; [yet] if others cut off his shoots, they are liable.”
