28. Παιδίσκη, ἐν Ὀμίλῳ, ἐκ τρώματος κεφαλῆς ὡς δωδεκαέτης θνήσκει ἐν μέσῳ θέρει τεσσαρεσκαιδεκάτῃ ἡμέρῃ· θύρην τις αὐτῇ ἐνέβαλε, καὶ τὸ ὀστέον φλᾷ καὶ ῥήγνυσιν· αἱ δὲ ῥαφαὶ ἐν τῷ ἕλκει ἦσαν. Τοῦτο ἐγνώσθη ὀρθῶς πρίσεως δεόμενον· ἐπρίσθη δὲ οὐκ εἰς τὸ δέον, ἀλλ ὅσον ὑπελείφθη, πῦον ἐν αὐτῷ ἐγένετο. Ὀγδόῃ, ῥῖγος πυρετὸς ἐπέλαβεν· εἶχε δὲ οὐκ εἰς τὸ δέον, ἀλλ᾿ ὅσον καὶ τῶν πρόσθεν ἡμερέων, ὅτε πυρετὸς οὐκ εἶχεν. Ἐνάτῃ δὲ τὸ λοιπὸν ἐξεπρίσθη, καὶ ὑπεφάνη ὀλίγον πάνυ πῦον ξὺν αἵματι· καὶ ἡ μῆνιγξ καθαρὴ ἦν. Καὶ ὕπνος μὲν ἐπέλαβεν· ὁ δὲ πυρετὸς αὖθις οὐκ ἠφίει· σπασμὸς δὲ χεῖρα τὴν ἀριστερὴν ἐπελάμβανεν· ἐν γὰρ τοῖσι δεξιοῖσι μᾶλλον εἶχε τὸ ἕλκος.
