17. Ἐν Λαρίσσῃ, Θεοφόρβου παῖς ἐλέπρα τὴν κύστιν, καὶ διούρει γλίσχρον, καὶ ὠδυνᾶτο καὶ ἀρχόμενος καὶ τελευτῶν τῆς οὐρήσιος, καὶ ἔτριβε τὸ πόσθιον. Οὗτος πιὼν τὸ διουρητικὸν δριμὺ, ἐς μὲν τὴν κύστιν οὐδὲν ἐχώρησεν, ἐξήμεσε δὲ συχνὸν πυῶδες καὶ χολὴν, καὶ κάτω ἕτερα τοιαῦτα διεχώρεε, καὶ ὠδυνᾶτο τὴν γαστέρα, καὶ ἐκαίετο ἔνδοθεν, τὸ δὲ ἄλλο σῶμα ψυχρὸν ἐγένετο, καὶ παρελύθη ὅλος, καὶ προσδέχεσθαι οὐδὲν ἤθελεν. Τούτῳ ἡλκώθη ἡ κοιλίη ἰσχυρῶς ὑπὸ ἰσχύος τοῦ φαρμάκου ἄγαν· ἀποθνήσκει δὲ μετὰ τὴν πόσιν τριταῖος.
