Reference for Sanhedrin 101:9

כדר"א דאמר פנוי הבא על הפנויה שלא לשום אישות עשאה זונה

— Raba replied: This is taughtaccording to R. Simeon, who regards burning a severer penalty.I might thinkthat since the Divine Law has in general been stricter with the priests [thanwith the Israelites], giving them an additional number of precepts, thereforethe priest's daughter [if she profaned the Sabbath] should be burnt; hencewe are taught that this verse applies only to profanation by whoredom. Butwhy should she differ from a priesthimself?<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' If this be taught according to R. Simeon, why should I think that though a priest is stoned for desecrating the Sabbath — since nowhere does the Scripture differentiate between a priest and an Israelite in this respect, — his daughter is punished more severely by being burnt?
