מתקיף לה רב אשי בשלמא עד נעשה דיין שמעינן מינה אלא דיינין המכירין חתימות ידי עדים אין צריכין להעיד בפניהם דלמא לעולם אימא לך צריכין ושאני הכא דקא מקיימא הגדה בחד

Ashi raised a difficulty on this: It makes sense that we learn from this that a witness may be a judge, but [how can we learn that] if the judges know the signatures of the witnesses, there is no need to testify before them? Perhaps I could say to you that this is [generally] necessary, but it is different here, because the telling has been fulfilled before one.
