איתיביה לעולם הוא חייב עד שיחזירנה לרשותו מאי לעולם לאו אפילו מביתו ש"מ כשומר שכר דמי
Two separate cases are, in fact, stated in the text, which should read thus: If he returned it in the morning to a place where the owner might see it [at a time] when it was usual with him to go in and out so that he would most likely see it, he would no more be required to concern himself with it, but if he returned it in the afternoon to a place where the owner might see it<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Had he been at home. ');"><sup>7</sup></span>
Sifrei Devarim
"return shall you return them": If he returned it (the animal), and it ran away; returned it and it ran away — even four or five times — he must continue returning it, it being written "Return shall you return them." If he returned it to a place where it could be seen (by the owner), he need not deal with it. If it were stolen or lost, he is responsible for it — until he returns it to his (the owner's) domain, it being written "to your brother."
