Un pedazo de grasa prohibida y otro pedazo de grasa prohibida [que era al mismo tiempo] remanente, y una persona se comió uno de ellos y no sabe cuál, es responsable de una ofrenda por el pecado y de una ofrenda por la culpa. Si luego se comió la segunda pieza, está sujeto a tres ofrendas por el pecado. Si él comió una pieza y otra vino y comió la otra, cada uno de ellos trae una ofrenda por el pecado y una ofrenda por la culpa. El rabino Shimon dice: este trae una ofrenda por el pecado y este trae una ofrenda por el pecado, y juntos traen otra ofrenda por el pecado. El rabino Yose dice: cualquier ofrenda por el pecado que se traiga por un pecado que dos personas no pueden traer.
Bartenura on Mishnah Keritot
חתיכה של חלב וחתיכה של חלב נותר כו' – He brings a sin-offering because of forbidden fat, and a suspending guilt-offering because of doubt of left-overs, for left-overs [are punishable] by extirpation like that of forbidden fat. But the prohibition of left-overs takes effect on the prohibition of forbidden fat because it is prohibition that adds.

Bartenura on Mishnah Keritot
מביא שלש חטאות – two [sin-offerings] because of [eating] forbidden fat, and one because of [consuming] left-overs, and this is when there for him of knowledge/awareness [of his sinning] in the meanwhile, for if not, this one only brings two sin-offerings, one because of [partaking of] forbidden fat and the other because of [eating] left-overs. But one who does not teach here “three sin-offering and an unconditional guilt offering, as is taught above (see Mishnah 6 of this chapter), because most of the left-overs do not contain the equivalent of a penny, and are not worthy of anything, but the guilt-offerings of religious sacrilege do not come on less than the equivalent of a penny.

English Explanation of Mishnah Keritot
If there was a piece of forbidden fat and another piece of forbidden fat [which was at the same time] notar, and a person ate one of them and does not know which, he is liable to a hatat and to an asham talui. If he eats one of the pieces, he certainly must bring one hatat for eating helev. He must also bring an asham talui lest he ate the piece that is also notar.

Bartenura on Mishnah Keritot
כל חטאת שהיא באה על חטא – to exclude the sin-offering of a mother who gave birth which does not for a sin, for Rabbi Yossi holds that two bring it in partnership and with a condition, as we stated in the first chapter. But the Halakhic decision is that a sin-offering is not brought in partnership, and even for sin offerings of lacking atonement.

If he then ate the second piece, he is liable to three hatats. Two hatats are for the forbidden fat, assuming that they were eaten in two periods of unawareness and the third hatat is for eating notar.

English Explanation of Mishnah Keritot
If he ate one piece and another came and ate the other, each of them brings a hatat and an asham talui. Rabbi Shimon says: each of them brings a hatat and together they bring another hatat. Rabbi Yose says: any hatat that is brought for the expiation of sin cannot be offered by two people. They both must bring one hatat for they both certainly ate helev. According to the first opinion they both bring an asham talui, for each one of them might have also eaten helev. Rabbi Shimon holds they can jointly bring a second hatat. And Rabbi Yose again holds that two people can never jointly bring a sacrifice that comes to expiate for sin.
