47. Ὁ πληγεὶσ ὀξεὶ βέλει ἐς τοὔπισθεν μικρὸν κάτω τοῦ τραχήλου, τὸ μὲν τρῶμα ἔλαβεν οὐκ ἄξιον λόγου ἐσιδεῖν· οὐ γὰρ ἐν βάθει ἐγένετο. Μετὰ δὲ οὐ πολλὸν χρόνον, ἐξαιρεθέντος τοῦ βέλεος, ἐτιταίνετο ἐς τοὔπισθεν ἐρυσθεὶς ὡς οἱ ὀπισθοτονικοί· καὶ αἱ γένυες ἐδέδεντο· καὶ εἴ τι ὑγρὸν ἐς τὸ στόμα λάβοι, καὶ τοῦτο ἐγχειροίη καταπίνειν, πάλιν ἀνέκυπτεν ἐς τὰς ῥῖνας, καὶ τὰ λοιπὰ αὐτίκα ἐκακοῦτο, καὶ δευτέρῃ ἡμέρῃ ἔθανεν.
