Commentary for Zevachim 160:1

ועוד תניא בהדיא הניתנין למעלה שנתערבו בניתנין למטה רבי אליעזר אומר יתן למעלה והתחתונים עלו לו

<br> Moreover, it was explicitly taught: If [blood] which is applied above was mixed with [blood] that is applied below, R. Eliezer said: He must sprinkle [it] above, and the lower [blood] acquits him. But if you say that there is no even distribution, why does it acquit him? perhaps he sprinkled the upper [blood] below and the lower [blood] above? - The case we discuss here is where we have an excess of upper [blood], and he sprinkles above the quantity of the lower [blood] plus a little more. But he teaches that the lower [blood] acquits him? - [It counts] as the residue. <br>
