Mishnah 1א׳

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] Kodshai Kodashim [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 grain-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.

Mishnah 2ב׳

חַטַּאת הָעוֹף הָיְתָה נַעֲשֵׂית עַל קֶרֶן דְּרוֹמִית מַעֲרָבִית. בְּכָל מָקוֹם הָיְתָה כְשֵׁרָה, אֶלָּא זֶה הָיָה מְקוֹמָהּ. וּשְׁלשָׁה דְבָרִים הָיְתָה אוֹתָהּ הַקֶּרֶן מְשַׁמֶּשֶׁת מִלְּמַטָּן, וּשְׁלשָׁה מִלְמַעְלָן. מִלְּמַטָּן, חַטַּאת הָעוֹף וְהַהַגָּשׁוֹת וּשְׁיָרֵי הַדָּם. מִלְמַעְלָן, נִסּוּךְ הַמַּיִם וְהַיַּיִן וְעוֹלַת הָעוֹף כְּשֶׁהִיא רַבָּה בַמִּזְרָח:

The Chattat [offerings brought to expiate sin] of a bird was performed at the southwest corner [of the altar]. It is valid [if done] any place, but that was its [proper] place. That corner served [as the location for] three services below [the altar's midpoint] and it served [as the location for] three services above [the altar's midpoint]. [Performed at this corner] below [the midpoint were]: The Chattat of the bird, the presentation [of grain-offerings], and [the pouring out of] the remainders [of sacrificial] blood. [Performed at this corner] above [the midpoint were]: [The pouring of] the wine libation, [the pouring of the] water libation, and [the procedure of] the Olah [an offering that is entirely burnt] of a bird when there were too many [sacrifices being brought] at the east [corner of the altar].
