Commentary for Yoma 117:4
ואי בעית אימא בהא קא מיפלגי מר סבר סביב דמזבח פנימי כסביב דמזבח החיצון ומר סבר כוליה מזבח פנימי במקום חדא קרן דמזבח חיצון קאי
Hence it is obvious, as we have answered before: One Master holds the sprinkling was done by circular movement of the hand, whereas the other Master holds it was done by walking around. And if you like to say: The dispute lies therein: that one Master holds that the [phrase] 'round about' [mentioned in connection] with the inner altar signifies the same as 'round about' [mentioned in connection] with the outer altar,<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' V. Lev. XVI, 18. And...he shall put it upon the horns of the altar round about. In the case of the outer altar, the sprinkling was done by walking around, the analogy would render the same procedure proper with the inner altar.');"><sup>4</sup></span>
