55. Οἷον εἶχεν ὁ πρεσβύτης, ὁ ἀπογενόμενος· ἅμα ἠσθένει τῇ ἑωυτοῦ γυναικὶ, τῇ κεκριμένῃ, μανικόν τι ἐνῆν, ἐλθούσης δὲ ἕλμινθος ὑποπαχέης καὶ σίτου ὀλίγου, αὐτίκα ἐπαύσατο καὶ ἐκοιμήθη, καὶ ὑγιὴς ἦν. Ὁ πρεσβύτης οὗτος, καὶ τοῦ σώματος περίτασις τοῦ δέρματος· ἄκρεα ψυχρά· λαπαρός· τρομώδης ἐν ἀρχῇσι καὶ χείλεα καὶ χεῖρας καὶ φωνήν· παρηνέχθη κοσμίως, ἔχασκεν, οὐ πάνυ δύσπνοος ἦν· ἡμέρῃσιν οὐκ οἶδα πρόσω εἴκοσιν, ἀπέθανεν.
