31. Ἑκάσων, ἐν Ὀμίλῳ, ἀπὸ ἀκαθαρσίης καὶ πονηρῆς καθάρσιος ἐς τὸ ἰσχίον ἐπέστη αὐτῷ ὀδύνη ὀξείη· καὶ αὐτὴ μὲν ἀπηλλάγη, πυρετοὶ δὲ αὐτὸν ὑπέλαβον· καὶ χρόνον πουλὺν κλινοπετὴς ὤν· οὔτε πίνων οὐδὲν, οὔτε διψῶν, ἀσθενής τε ὢν καὶ φρικώδης. Τούτῳ ἀφηρέθη μὲν τὸ νούσημα· χρηστῶς, ὡς ἔδει, τὸ σῶμα· ὠφελεῖτο δὲ ἀπὸ τῶν προσφερομένων· τελευτῶντι δὲ ἐῤῥάγη τὸ νούσημα κάτω, καὶ ἐχώρεε πᾶν ὑπὸ πουλλῇ χολῇ, καὶ παρέκοψε, καὶ ἔθανεν· ἐδόκεε δ᾿ ἂν ἐκφυγεῖν.
