Commentary for Zevachim 142:3

קדשים בקדשים מין במינו [זה יקרב לשם מי שהוא וזה] יקרב לשם מי שהוא

[But] we have already learnt it once: All which are forbidden to the altar, e.g., a roba' and a nirba', render [others] forbidden whatever their number? - Said R. Kahana: I reported this discussion to R. Shimi b. Ashi, and he said to me: They are both necessary. For if [we learnt] from there, I would say. That is only [where they are forbidden] to the altar; but [where they are forbidden] to a layman, it is not [so]. While if [we learnt] from here, I would say that [this ruling applies] only to these, which are forbidden for any use; but as for the others, which are not forbidden for general use, it is not [so]. Thus they are both necessary.
