[If] most holy offerings were slaughtered on top of the Altar — R’ Yose says: [It is] as if they had been slaughtered in the north; R’ Yose bar Yehudah says: From the middle of the Altar and northward is as the north; from the middle of the Altar and southward is as the south. The minchah-offerings would have their kometz separated anywhere in the Courtyard, and they are eaten within the curtains, by male Kohanim, prepared in any manner, for a day and a night, until midnight.
