Commentary for Ketubot 127:1

פירות ולא מזונות ולא בליות אם מתחילה נשאה לשום אילונית יש לה כתובה אלמנה לכהן גדול גרושה וחלוצה לכהן הדיוט ממזרת ונתינה לישראל בת ישראל לממזר ולנתין יש להן כתובה:

that we intercalate a month into the calendar because of ritual impurity and there are those that teach that we do not do so. According to the opinion that says we do not intercalate a month into the calendar because of ritual impurity, how do we understand the verse “…for they ate the Passover sacrifice not as it is written…” (ibid.)? That they added a month of Nisan, but we only add a month of Adar. This is like the teaching of Mar R’ Simon bar Zavdi: they found the skull of Ornan the Jebusite under the altar.
