11. Περὶ δὲ πληϊάδων δύσιας, ὁ Μητροφάντου τὴν κεφαλὴν πληγεὶς ὑπὸ ἑτέρου παιδὸς ὀστράκῳ, καὶ ἀπογενόμενος δωδεκαταῖος, ἐπυρέτηνεν· προφάσιος δὲ, ὅτι σμήχων ἔτριψε τὰ περὶ τὸ ἕλκος, καὶ μετεψύχθη· ἐξήρθη τὰ χείλεα αὐτίκα, διελεπτύνθη τὸ δέρμα πανταχῆ ἀπὸ τοῦ ἕλκεος πρόσω. Πρισθέντι δὲ οὐ βραδέως, οὔτε πῦον ἐῤῥύη, οὔτε ἐκουφίσθη· παρὰ δὲ τὸ οὖς ἐδόκει παραπυΐσκειν, ἐπὶ τῇ γένυϊ, ἐπὶ τὰ ἀριστερά· ταύτῃ γὰρ καὶ τὸ ἕλκος· ἔπειτα τοῦτό τε οὐκ ἀπεπύει, καὶ ὁ ὦμος ὁ δεξιὸς ἐνεπύησε ταχέως. Ἀπέθανε περὶ τέσσαρας καὶ εἴκοσιν.
