Mesorat%20hashas for Zevachim 6:1

קָדְשֵׁי קָדָשִׁים שֶׁשְּׁחָטָן בְּרֹאשׁ הַמִּזְבֵּחַ, רַבִּי יוֹסֵי אוֹמֵר, כְּאִלּוּ נִשְׁחֲטוּ בַצָּפוֹן. רַבִּי יוֹסֵי בַּר יְהוּדָה אוֹמֵר, מֵחֲצִי הַמִּזְבֵּחַ וְלַצָּפוֹן, כַּצָּפוֹן. מֵחֲצִי הַמִּזְבֵּחַ וְלַדָּרוֹם, כַּדָּרוֹם. הַמְּנָחוֹת הָיוּ נִקְמָצוֹת בְּכָל מָקוֹם בָּעֲזָרָה, וְנֶאֱכָלִין לִפְנִים מִן הַקְּלָעִים לְזִכְרֵי כְהֻנָּה, בְּכָל מַאֲכָל, לְיוֹם וָלַיְלָה עַד חֲצוֹת:

[If] <i>Kodshai Kodashim</i> [sacrifices of the highest degree of sanctity. They may be slaughtered only on the north-west corner of the altar, and consumed only within the Temple compound by male priests, or burnt entirely] were slaughtered on top of the altar, Rabbi Yose says: It is as though they were slaughtered in the north [of the Temple courtyard]. Rabbi Yose bar Yehudah says: From the middle [of the top surface] of the altar northwards, [it is] like [they were slaughtered] in the north, from the middle [of the top surface] of the altar southwards, [it is] like [they were slaughtered] in the south. The <i>Menachot</i> [meal-offerings] had fistfuls removed [from them] anywhere in the Temple courtyard. They were eaten within the curtains, by male priests, prepared in any manner, [and eaten] that day and [subsequent] night until midnight.
