'Furthermore, by wisdom born of hearing or by the divine eye, one sees swelling worms travelling within the body. Their bodies are minuscule; wherever the worms drink blood, swellings arise, throbbing with pain. They are either on the face, or on the crown, or in the throat, or at the fontanelle, or in other places; wherever they are, they can cause swellings to arise. If they dwell in the sinews, there is no pain or illness.'
