Reference for Sanhedrin 36:10

לא מלך וכהן גדול בעיבור שנה מלך משום אפסניא כהן גדול משום צינה

or when his work is of greater value than his neighbour's [loss]: in such cases Scripture says, And hide thyself.<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Thus a man's dignity abrogates the injunction, Thou mayest not hide thyself'; in the same way, the duty of bearing testimony (v. Lev. V, 1) should be abrogated in favor of a High Priest, since it is not in keeping with his exalted office. ');"><sup>18</sup></span> — said R. Joseph: He may be a witness for the king.<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' I.e. in a case where the king is one of the litigants. ');"><sup>19</sup></span>
