Talmud for Horayot 3:1

כֹּהֵן מָשִׁיחַ שֶׁחָטָא וְאַחַר כָּךְ עָבַר מִמְּשִׁיחוּתוֹ, וְכֵן נָשִׂיא שֶׁחָטָא וְאַחַר כָּךְ עָבַר מִגְּדֻלָּתוֹ, כֹּהֵן מָשִׁיחַ מֵבִיא פַר, וְהַנָּשִׂיא מֵבִיא שָׂעִיר:

If the anointed priest sinned (in his ruling) and was afterwards deposed from his (high-) priesthood [and he was not able to bring his offering until after he had been deposed]; and, similarly, if the Nassi sinned and was afterwards deposed from his kingship — the anointed priest brings a bullock [(It is stated later in our Mishnah that even if he sinned after he had been deposed he brings a bullock. But because it was necessary to teach that the Nassi brings a he-goat before he was deposed, it was also taught that the high-priest brings a bullock], and the Nassi brings a he-goat, [it being written (Leviticus 4:28): "for his sin which he has sinned" — he brings a sin-offering as he did when he sinned.]
