If the fact that one stole an ox was established by the testimony of two witnesses, and the fact that he slaughtered or sold it was established by the testimony of two other witnesses, and both pairs of witnesses were found false, the first witnesses pay a twofold payment, and the latter witnesses pay a threefold payment.

If one testifies and is subsequently found to be a false witness, Abbaye says that he is disqualified from serving as a witness retroactively, from the moment he testified, and all his testimonies given in the interim are invalid. This is one of the six cases where Abbaye prevails over Rava.
