R. Papa objected to Raba: In what instance did R. Akiba rule that a vow which is partially annulled is entirely annulled?

[But if he said,] 'Konam that I do not benefit from A, B, C,' etc.: if the first was [subsequently] permitted, all are permitted; but if the last-named was permitted, he alone is permitted, but the rest are forbidden. As for Rabbah, it is well, [for] he can apply the first clause to one who [in the first instance] enumerated A, B, C, etc.; while the second clause refers to one who [in the first instance] declared, 'to any of you.' But as for yourself: granted that you can apply the first clause to one who [in his second statement] declared, 'to any of you.'

Meir's ruling agrees with both R. Akiba and the Rabbis. Rabina objected to Raba: R. Nathan said: A vow may be partly permitted and partly binding. E.g., if one vowed not to eat a basket [of figs],
