cellioA mishna on today's daf discusses deriving benefit from items that were
dedicated to the temple. (This is not the case of theft but of
"borrowing" without permission.) Rabbi Akiva says that one is always liable
for appropriation (so long as a minimum value was derived), but the
sages rule that for an item that deteriorates with use, one is liable
only after one has caused deterioration. For items that do not
deteriorate, however, one is liable immediately. For example, if you
derive benefit from a necklace, ring, or golden cup you are liable, but
if you derive benefit from clothing or an axe you are liable only after
you have caused wear and tear. (18a)
