Shimon b. Azzai says: "and the owner of the ox is absolved" — from half-kofer. For it would follow: Since an ox who killed an ox must pay, and an ox that killed a man must pay, then just as there, (in the first instance) a mued pays full damages and a tam, half-damages; here, too, (in the instance of an ox that kills) a man, it is so. And what is the intent of "the owner of the ox is absolved"? Of half-kofer.
