21. Ἐν Λαρίσσῃ, ἀνὴρ ἐτρώθη ἐκ χειρὸς λόγχῃ πλατείῃ ὄπισθεν, καὶ τὸ ἄκρον διήνεγκε κάτω τοῦ ὀμφαλοῦ, πελιὸν, ἀποιδέον, καὶ διῆλθε χωρίον πουλύ. Ἐπεὶ δὲ ἐτρώθη, ἔπειτα ὀδύνη ἔσχε τὰ πρῶτα ἰσχυρή· καὶ ἐπῳδίσκετο ἡ γαστήρ. Τούτῳ ἐδόθη τῇ ὑστεραίῃ κατωτερικὸν, καὶ διεχώρησεν ὀλίγον ὕφαιμον, καὶ ἔθανεν. Ἐδόκεε τούτου τὰ ἔντερα εἶναι οὐχ ὑγιέα, καὶ αἵματος ἡ κοιλίη πλέη τυγχάνειν.
