Commentary for Bava Kamma 147:14
כגון דאתו בי תרי ואמרי הפיל את שינו וסימא עינו ופסקיניה לדינא אפומייהו
— He replied: Raba maintained that as the earlier clause dealt with three sets [of witnesses giving evidence] the later clause similarly presented the law in a case where three sets [gave evidence], and tried thus to prove his point from the later clause. [For this clause would thus have dealt with a case] where e.g., a set of two witnesses had appeared and alleged that the master first knocked out his [slave's] tooth and then put out his eye, and after the verdict was given in accordance with their testimony a set of other witnesses arrived and stated that the first put out his [slave's] eye and then his tooth, thus contradicting the witnesses of the first set, and as these [latter] were also proved <i>zomemim</i> they would have to pay the value of the slave's eye<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' I.e., the difference between the value of the eye and that of the tooth.
