Commentary for Zevachim 182:2

א"ר זירא אף אנן נמי תנינא א"ר שמעון אם ראית שמן שמתחלק בעזרה אי אתה צריך לשאול מהו אלא מותר רקיקי מנחות ישראל ולוג שמן של מצורע שאין מתנדבין מכלל דמ"ד מתנדבין מתחלק

and that it [an offering of oil] i like a meal-offering: as a fistful is taken of a meal-offering and the rest is eaten,<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Ibid. 2f.');"><sup>3</sup></span> so the oil: one takes a fistf off and the rest of it is eaten. R'Zera observed, We too have learnt thus: R'SIMEON SAID: IF YOU SEE OIL BEING SHARED OUT IN THE TEMPLE COURT, YOU NEED NOT ASK WHAT IT IS, FOR IT IS THE RESIDUE OF THE WAFERS [REKIKIM] OF THE ISRAELITES' MEAL-OFFERINGS OR OF THE LEPER'S LOG OF OIL.
