Commentary for Sanhedrin 121:6

וכי תימא למעוטי הפוער עצמו לזובחים מהשתחואה נפקא מה השתחואה דרך כיבוד אף כל דרך כיבוד

R. Papa demurred: Would the verse singling out sacrificing be superfluous on R. Johanan's view? Surely he merely rules that the animal is forbidden [as a result of the analogy from piggul], but the person may not be liable to death. Hence the verse teaches [by singling out sacrificing] that he is so liable!
