Quoting%20commentary for Zevachim 55:11

מיתיבי השוחט את העולה להקטיר כזית מעור שתחת האליה חוץ למקומו פסול ואין בו כרת חוץ לזמנו פיגול וחייבין עליו כרת

[Presumably] that the skin of the fat-tail is as the fat-tail!<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' If the Mishnah treats of the fat-tail of a lamb, then on Samuel's interpretation we are informed that you can intend for human consumption what is meant for the altar's consumption; while on R. Huna's interpretation the Tanna informs us that the skin of the fat-tail is not as the fat-tail. But if it treats of the fat-tail of a goat, then the only thing that the Tanna can inform us is that its skin is regarded as itself in the sense that it is edible, because it is soft, and therefore counts as ordinary flesh.');">¹¹</span> Surely we have learnt it: The skin of the following is as their flesh: the skin under the fat-tail?<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' There must be at least as much as an olive of flesh before it can be defiled, and at least as much as the size of an egg before it can defile as nebelah (carrion. v. Lev. XI, 39f) . If there is less than these standards, it can be made up by the skin under the fat-tail (Hul. 122a) . Thus this teaches that this skin is as the fat-tail itself, and so the present teaching on R. Hisda's interpretation is superfluous.');">¹²</span>
