Now, what is the difference? [In the case of] 'large candlestick and small candlestick,' [he is exempt because] what he claimed from him, he did not admit to him; and what he admitted to him, he did not claim from him; if so, [in the case of] 'ten litras and five litras [weight]' he should also be exempt, because what h claimed from him, he did not admit to him; and what he admitted to him, he did not claim from him! - R'Samuel son of R'Isaac said: Here we are discussing a candlestick of sections, of which he admits a portion.<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' The candlestick of ten litras is built up of separate sections which can be taken apart, and the defendant admits that certain sections, amounting to five litras, belong to the claimant, but not the rest. He is therefore liable, because he admits a portion of this very candlestick.');">¹⁹</span>
