Midrash for Sanhedrin 133:10
רבינא אמר כולה רבנן היא ולא זו אף זו קתני
it is only in respect of hiding witnesses.<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' I.e., hedyot is not used in the sense of a layman as opposed to a prophet, but in the sense of ignoble; so dastardly in his action, that he is not shewn the same consideration as other malefactors, but hidden witnesses are set to entrap him. There is no dispute between Rabina and R. Papa, both teaching that the two clauses agree with the Rabbis; but Rabina explains the phrase, 'HE WHO SEDUCES AN INDIVIDUAL', whilst R. Papa deals with 'A MESITH IS A HEDYOT'. ');"><sup>10</sup></span>
