63. Τῇ Πολεμάρχου, χειμῶνος, κυναγχικῇ, οἴδημα ὑπὸ τὸν βρόγχον, πουλὺς πυρετός· ἐφλεβοτομήθη· ἔληξεν ὁ πνιγμὸς ἐκ τῆς φάρυγγος· ὁ πυρετὸς παρείπετο. Περὶ πέμπτην, γούνατος ἄλγημα, οἴδημα τοῦ ἀριστεροῦ· καὶ κατὰ τὴν καρδίην ἐδόκεέ τι ξυλλέγεσθαι αὐτῇ, καὶ ἀνέπνεεν ὡς ἐκ τοῦ βεβαπτίσθαι ἀναπνέουσι, καὶ ἐκ τοῦ στήθεος ὑπεψόφεεν, ὥσπερ αἱ ἐγγαστρίμυθοι λεγόμεναι· τοιοῦτό τι ξυνέβαινεν. Περὶ δὲ τὰς ἑπτὰ ἢ ἐννέα, ἐς νύκτα κοιλίη κατεῤῥάγη· ὑγρὰ πουλλὰ κακὰ νομιζόμενα· ἀφωνίη· ἐτελεύτησεν.
