Mesorat%20hashas for Menachot 6:4

כָּל הַמְּנָחוֹת הַנַּעֲשׂוֹת בִּכְלִי, טְעוּנוֹת פְּתִיתָה. מִנְחַת יִשְׂרָאֵל, כּוֹפֵל אֶחָד לִשְׁנַיִם, וּשְׁנַיִם לְאַרְבָּעָה, וּמַבְדִּיל. מִנְחַת כֹּהֲנִים, כּוֹפֵל אֶחָד לִשְׁנַיִם, וּשְׁנַיִם לְאַרְבָּעָה, וְאֵינוֹ מַבְדִּיל. מִנְחַת כֹּהֵן הַמָּשִׁיחַ, לֹא הָיָה מְכַפְּלָהּ. רַבִּי שִׁמְעוֹן אוֹמֵר, מִנְחַת כֹּהֲנִים וּמִנְחַת כֹּהֵן מָשִׁיחַ, אֵין בָּהֶם פְּתִיתָה, מִפְּנֵי שֶׁאֵין בָּהֶם קְמִיצָה, וְכֹל שֶׁאֵין בָּהֶם קְמִיצָה, אֵין בָּהֶן פְּתִיתָה. וְכֻלָּן כַּזֵּיתִים:

All grain offerings prepared in a vessel must be broken into pieces. The grain offering of an Israelite was folded into two and the two were folded into four, and he separated [it at each bend]. The grain offering of priests was folded into two and the two were folded into four, but he does not separate. The grain offering of the anointed high priest was not folded. Rabbi Shimon says: neither the grain offering of the priests nor the grain offering of the anointed high priest was broken in pieces, since the handful was not taken from them, and whenever the handful is not taken [from a grain offering] it is not to be broken in pieces. And they were all an olive's bulk.
