Tosefta for Chullin 122:8

But they, the peres and the 'ozniah, are two texts, separately stated, which teach the same thing, and one may not draw any conclusions from two verses which teach the same thing!<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' For if these were intended as specimens only, and that all others with similar characteristics were to be inferred therefrom, the Torah need only have stated one of them. The fact that two verses are stated, or two specimens given, suggests that the rule is limited to the particular specimens given.');"><sup>5</sup></span>
Tosefta Zevachim
One who slaughters [an animal intended for] a burnt offering [with the intention] to sprinkle its blood outside (i.e., outside the Temple), or some of the blood outside, to eat its flesh outside, or an olive's bulk of its flesh outside: It is disqualified, but they may not hold [the priest] liable for excision, and you can say the same as to uncircumcised and impure [priests]. One who slaughters a sacrificial animal [with the intention] to eat an olive's bulk of the skin of the fatty tail outside its designated area: It is disqualified, but [the priest] is not liable for excision. [But if he intended to burn it] beyond its designated time, it is piggul, and they hold him liable for excision. Rabbi Elazar ben Yehuda of Aveilum (not "Ochlin"; see Hul. 122b:7) said in the name of Rabbi Yaakov, and so too would Rabbi Shimon ben Yehuda of K'far 'Ikkom say in the name of Rabbi Shimon: The same law applies to the skin of the fatty tail and the skin of the head and the skin [covering] the hooves.
