Commentary for Ketubot 66:9

וכי תימא ר' מאיר לוקה ומשלם אית ליה מת ומשלם לית ליה ולא והתניא גנב וטבח בשבת גנב וטבח לעבודת כוכבים גנב שור הנסקל וטבחו משלם תשלומי ארבעה וחמשה דברי רבי מאיר וחכמים פוטרין

And if you will say that R. Meir holds [that] one may receive the lashes and pay [the money], but he does not hold [that] one may receive the death penalty and pay [the money], is this so? Has it not been taught: If he has stolen and slaughtered [an animal] on Shabbat, or has stolen and slaughtered [an animal] for idolatry, or has stolen an ox that is to be stoned and slaughtered it, he shall pay fourfold or fivefold, the words of R. Meir, but the sages exempt him [from payment].
