Shikalim 4:6

If a person was makdish [made holy] his properties and amongst them was ketores, there is a law that says it becomes holy for the Bais Hamikdash. R’ Akiva says you redeem it for the Bais Hamikdash workers’ salary. Ben Azai says that you must do as the previous mishna explained, by first redeeming the ketores on money.

Shikalim 4:7

If a person was makdish [made holy] his properties and amongst them was animals that could be brought for korbanos both male and female, R’ Eliezer says, the animals should be sold to people who need them (male or female) and the money should go for the upkeep of the Bais Hamikdash. R’ Yehoshua says the males themselves should be brought for olas. The females should be sold for shelamim and the money should be used for olas.

R’ Akiva says he holds like R’ Eliezer as all animals are dealt with equally.

R’ Papayas says if he state on each animal separately that he was makdish it, then we say he meant like R’ Yehoshua that the animal should be brought for the holiest purpose, such as an olah. If he just used the term ‘all’, then we say like R’ Eliezer.
