[If] one says to another: “I robbed you,” “You lent me,” [or] “You deposited with me,” ... but I do not know whether I returned [it] to you or whether I did not return [it] to you,“ he is obligated to pay. But if he says to him: “I do not know whether I robbed you,” “whether you lent me,” [or] “whether you deposited with me,” he is exempt from paying.

[If] one steals a lamb from the flock and returns it, and it dies or is stolen, he is responsible for it. [If] the owners were aware neither of its theft nor of its return, and they counted the flock and it was complete, he is exempt.
