Commentary for Zevachim 68:5

רב ירמיה מדיפתי מתני הכי בעא מיניה אביי (מרבא) [מרבה] כוס מהו שיעשה את חבירו דחוי או שירים

If an unfit person renders [the blood] a residue, then an unfit goblet too renders [the blood] a residue; if an unfit person does not render a residue, an unfit goblet too does not render a residue. R'Jeremiah of Difti recited it thus: Abaye asked Rabbah: Does one goblet render another rejected or a residue?<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' E.g., if the blood of a sin-offering was received in two goblets, and all the sprinklings were performed out of one, is the blood in the other regarded as the residue, which must be poured out at the foot of the altar (cf. Lev. IV, 7: and all the remaining blood of the bullock shall he pour out at the base of the altar) ? Or do we say that by not using it he intentionally, as it were, rejected it, and therefore it is simply poured out into the duct or sewer in the Temple court which discharged its contents into the stream of Kidron?');"><sup>6</sup></span>
