Commentary for Makkot 3:4

Refers to over there - From (tractate) Sanhedrin (the author has) continued (lit. left off). That we learnt at the end of (chapter) The Following are Strangled, that is the end of (tractate) Sanhedrin, that there are false witnesses that are slightly differentiated from the (standard) laws of false testimony. Like that which is taught, all false witnesses we apply (lit. are introduced) to the very same death (as they which to inflict). That means to say they do not face (lit. look) to any other (method) of being killed, rather we apply (lit. awaken them) to that very death that the (original) accused (lit. judged one) was sentenced to (lit. judgement was completed):

Except false witnesses testifying against the daughter of a Cohen - (fully) married. That even though her judgement was (for death) by burning through their testimony (lit. mouths), they (the false witnesses) are strangulated. As we learn there (90a) her (death) is burning, but (lit. and) her adulterer (partner) is not (punished) with burning but with strangulation, just like any other adulterer of a married woman, and the false witnesses are (lit.) woken up to the (same) death that they wanted to inflict on the adulterer. As it is written (in scriptures) as they intended to do to their brother, and (we infer) not their sister. And it states here (at the beginning of our tractate as a continuation), there are other false witnesses that we do not establish with them the law of false testimony (as they wanted to do so should be done to them) at all, rather (they are given) lashes. And on this (point) it is explained (the mishne explains, beginning with a question). How are these witnesses that we cannot fulfil with them the (normal) laws of false testimony (lit) made into false witnesses (i.e. how do we apply the law of doing unto them as they intended to do).(Answers and carries on the mishne ) we give testimony etc.:
