Victims of damages are [paid by] assessing for them the superior fields; lenders, with fields of medium quality; and a woman's kesubah, with fields of the poorest quality. R' Meir says: Also a woman's kesubah [is paid] with fields of medium quality.

Payment may not be taken from assigned property if there is unassigned property available, even if they are of the poorest quality. Payment from the property of orphans may be taken only from fields of the poorest quality.
