ת"ר שור של ישראל שנגח שור של כותי פטור ושל כותי שנגח שור של ישראל תם משלם חצי נזק ומועד משלם נזק שלם

there is no liability. But where cattle belonging to a Cuthean gored cattle belonging to an Israelite, in the case of <i>Tam</i> the payment will be for half the damage, whereas in the case of <i>Mu'ad</i> the payment will be in full. R. Meir, however, says: Where cattle belonging to an Israelite gored cattle belonging to a Cuthean there is no liability, whereas in the case of cattle belonging to an Israelite, whether in the case of <i>Tam</i> or in that of <i>Mu'ad</i>, the compensation is to be in full.

Tractate Kutim

The Samaritan is on the same footing as an Israelite in regard to all damages mentioned in the Torah. Whether an Israelite kills a Samaritan or a Samaritan kills an Israelite, if he did it by inadvertence he goes into exile [to a City of Refuge], if wilfully he is put to death. If the ox of an Israelite gored the ox of a Samaritan he is exempt from damages;2i.e. if it was not known to have a tendency to be a gorer. but should the ox of a Samaritan have gored the ox of an Israelite, if the ox is tam he pays half the damage and if it is mu‘ad3תם (innocuous) denotes an ox which had not previously gored, mu‘ad (warned) one which had done so and the owner had been warned. he pays the whole damage. R. Meir said: If an ox of a Samaritan gores the ox of an Israelite, whether it is tam or mu‘ad the owner pays the whole damage and pays from his best possessions.4[Cf. B.Ḳ. 38b (Sonc. ed., p. 217).]
