Commentary for Pesachim 194:4
ומאי קמ"ל לאפוקי מדר' יוחנן דאמר אין הפסח קרב שלמים אלא שנמצא אחר שחיטה אבל קודם שחיטה לא אלמא שחיטה קבע קמ"ל חצות קבע
Samuel too stated one rule [only]: Whatever must be left to perish in the case of a sin-offering must be left to graze in the case of a Passover-offering. Then what does he inform us?<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Since all sin-offerings must be left to die, it follows that Samuel teaches that all lost Passover-offerings are brought as peace-offerings. But this is already taught in the Mishnah, viz., IF THE PASSOVER-OFFERING IS FOUND AFTER THE SLAUGHTERING, IT IS BROUGHT AS A PEACE-OFFERING; this is explained supra as meaning after the time for slaughtering, i.e., after midday, which proves that if it is still lost at midday it is brought as a peace-offering.');"><sup>5</sup></span>
