Commentary for Avodah Zarah 50:11
רב מנשה הוה אזל
R. Menashe was once going
Daf Shevui to Avodah Zarah
This story involves the thieves of Babylonia. In the story, the thieves pay a price when Rav Menashe puts them under the dreaded ban.
In the end, the Bavli notes how much greater the generally violent robbers in the land of Israel are than the mere thieves in Babylonia. The robbers praised R. Akiva for his sound advice, whereas the thieves cursed R. Judah.
