הגוזל את חברו שוה פרוטה ונשבע לו, יוליכנו אחריו אפלו למדי.

ואם מת, יחזיר ליורשיו.

English Translation
 If one stole from another something worth a perutah And [nonetheless] swore [that he did not do so], He must take it to him [even if he needs to go as far as] to Media.

If [the victim] died, [The thief] must restore it to his heirs.
