to the šï−ò is 150 zuz (since his animal was worth 200 zuz to begin with). Hence, if each of the parties takes half the
live animal, i.e., 100 zuz, and half the dead animal, i.e., 25 zuz, then each receives 125 zuz rusulting in a net loss of
75 zuz for each of them. Now, the dead animal was originally worth 200 and is now worth 50, the total loss being
