and any oath that is similar to it, i.e., that is clearly a falsehood, disqualifies one from further oath taking.
היה אחד מהן משחק בקוביא. הא תו למה לי? תנא פסולא דאורייתא, וקתני פסולא דרבנן.
§ The Mishnah teaches: If one of the litigants was a dice player, or one who lends with interest, or among those who fly pigeons, or among the vendors of produce that grew during the Sabbatical Year, then the litigant opposing him takes an oath and receives payment of his claim. The Talmud asks: Why do I need these additional examples of a person who is suspect with regard to oath taking? The Talmud explains: The Mishnah first teaches examples of people who are disqualified by Torah law, and then teaches examples of those who are disqualified by rabbinic law.
היו שניהן חשודין. אמר ליה רבא לרב נחמן: היכי תנן? אמר ליה: לא ידענא. הלכתא מאי? אמר ליה: לא ידענא.
§ The Mishnah teaches: If both litigants were suspect, the oath returned to its place; this is the statement of R' Yosei. R' Meir says: Since neither can take an oath, they divide the disputed amount. Rava said to Rav Naḥman: How is it actually taught? What is R' Yosei’s opinion and what is R' Meir’s opinion? Rav Naḥman said to him: I do not know. Rava asked him: What is the halakha? Rav Naḥman said to him: I do not know.
איתמר: אמר רב יוסף בר מניומי, אמר רב נחמן, רבי יוסי אומר: יחלוקו. וכן תני רב זביד בר אושעיא, רבי יוסי אומר: יחלוקו. איכא דאמרי: תני רב זביד אמר רבי אושעיא, רבי יוסי אומר: יחלוקו. אמר רב יוסף בר מניומי: עבד רב נחמן עובדא – יחלוקו.
It was stated that Rav Yosef bar Minyumi says that Rav Naḥman says that R' Yosei says: They divide the disputed amount. And similarly, Rav Zevid bar Oshaya teaches that R' Yosei says: They divide the disputed amount. The Talmud records a slightly different version of this tradition: There are those who say that Rav Zevid teaches that R' Oshaya says that R' Yosei says: They divide the disputed amount. Rav Yosef bar Minyumi said that Rav Naḥman ruled in an actual case that the litigants divide the disputed amount.
