Jerusalem Talmud Bava Metzia 6.6

משנה: הַמַּעֲבִיר חָבִית מִמָּקוֹם לְמָקוֹם וְנִשְׁבְּרָה בֵּין שׁוֹמֵר הִנָּם בֵּין שׁוֹמֵר שָׂכָר יִישָּׁבֵעַ. רִבִּי אֱלִיעֶזֶר אוֹמֵר זֶה וְזֶה יִשָּׁבֵעַ וְתָמֵיהַּ אֲנִי אִם יְכוֹלִין זֶה וְזֶה לְהִישָּׁבֵעַ.

MISHNAH: One who transports an amphora from place to place and it breaks shall swear, whether unpaid or paid trustee. Rebbi Eliezer said, both shall swear, but I am wondering whether any of them be able to swear.

הלכה: הַמַּעֲבִיר חָבִית מִמָּקוֹם לְמָקוֹם כול׳. תַּנֵּי רִבִּי נְחֶמְיָה קַדָּר מְסַר קַדְרוֹי לְבַר נַשׁ תָּבְרִין. אָרִים גּוּלְתֵיהּ. אֲתַא גַבֵּי רִבִּי יוֹסֵי בַּר חֲנִינָה אֲמַר לֵיהּ. אֵיזִיל אֱמוֹר לֵיהּ. לְמַעַן תֵּלֵךְ בְּדֶרֶךְ טוֹבִים. אֲזַל וַאֲמַר לֵיהּ וִיהַב גּוּלְתֵיהּ. אֲמַר לֵיהּ. יְהַב לָךְ אַגְרָךְ. אֲמַר לֵיהּ. לָא. אֲמַר לֵיהּ. זִיל וֶאֱמוֹר לֵיהּ וְאָרְחוֹת צַדִּיקִים תִּשְׁמוֹר. אֲזַל וַאֲמַר לֵיהּ וִיהַב לֵיהּ אַגְרֵיהּ.

HALAKHAH: “One who transports an amphora from place to place,” etc. It was stated: Rebbi Nehemiah the potter gave his pots to a person who broke them. He confiscated his coat. He went to Rebbi Yose ben Ḥanina, who told him, go and tell him: “That you should go in the ways of good people.” He went and told him who then returned his coat. He asked him, did he pay your wages? He said, no. He told him, go and tell him: “And to the paths of the just you shall keep.” He went and told him who then paid his wages.
