‘Tooth’ is derived from Exodus 22:4: WHEN A MAN LETS HIS LIVESTOCK LOOSE TO GRAZE IN ANOTHER’S LAND… HE MUST COMPENSATE FOR THE DAMAGE DONE TO THAT FIELD OR VINEYARD. Now, if an animal grazes on my field, the animal and its owner benefit at my expense; but there are other situations where I benefit from someone’s possessions without causing him any loss, even though I am doing this without his permission. Such situations are known in Western law systems as ‘unjust enrichment’, and in the Talmud as ze nehene v’ze lo ḥaser (‘one benefits but the other does not lose’).5

Ḥisda died around 309; Ammi, who emigrated from Babylonia to Palestine and became head of the academy at Tiberias c. 270, may have died before Ḥisda. This discussion is set around the year 300, when Rami bar Ḥama and Rava were young students.
