A man went from Gallilee to Jerusalem to pray. Thence he went to Babylon and entrusted 200 dinars to a man in Jerusalem. When he returned, he did not recognise the man, with whom he had left the money, and mistaking him for another, abused him publicly for witholding the money. He saw afterwards the right man and recovered his money from him. He then atoned by submitting himself to the same public abuse. The innocently accused man obtained 600 dinars as compensation.
