46. Τῷ Ἀνεχέτου ταὐτά· χειμῶνος ἐν βαλανείῳ πρὸς πυρὶ χριόμενος ἐθερμάνθη; καὶ παραχρῆμα περιέπεσεν ἐπιληπτικοῖς σπασμοῖς· ἐπεὶ δ᾿ ἀνῆκαν οἱ σπασμοὶ, περιέβλεπεν, οὐ παρὰ ἑωυτῷ ἦν. Ἐπεὶ δὲ ἐντὸς ἑωυτοῦ ἐγένετο, πάλιν τῇ ὑστεραίῃ πρωῒ ἐλήφθη· σπασμώδης· ἀφρὸς δὲ οὐ πάνυ· καὶ τρίτῃ ἄκροπις· καὶ τετάρτῃ ἐπεσήμαινε τῇ γλώσσῃ, ἔπταιεν, οὐχ οἷός τε ἦν λέγειν, ἀλλ᾿ ἴσχετο ἐν τῇσιν ἀρχῇσι τῶν ὀνομάτων. Καὶ τῇ πέμπτῃ γλῶσσα σφοδρὰ, καὶ ὁ σπασμὸς ἐπεγένετο, καὶ ἐκτὸς ἑωυτοῦ ἐγένετο· ὅτε δὲ ἠνίει ταῦτα, ἡ γλῶσσα μόγις ἀποκαθίστατο εἰς τωὐτό. Ἑκταίῳ ἀποσχομένῳ πάντων, καὶ ῥοφήματος καὶ ποτοῦ, οὐδέν· καὶ οὐκ ἔτι ἐλάμβανεν.
