רובע עשה בו אונס כרצון נוגח לא עשה בו אונס כרצון נוגח משלם כופר רובע אינו משלם את הכופר לפיכך הוצרך לומר רובע והוצרך לומר נוגח

IN THE CASE OF A STADIUM OX [KILLING A PERSON], THE DEATH PENALTY IS NOT IMPOSED [UPON THE OX] etc. The question was raised: What [would have been the position of such an ox] with reference to [its being sacrificed upon] the altar? — Rab said that it would have been eligible, whereas Samuel maintained that it would have been ineligible. Rab considered it eligible since it committed manslaughter only by compulsion, whereas Samuel considered it ineligible since it had been used as an instrument for the commission of a crime.
