At that time,
then, as the immediate result of the blows and the maltreatment I received, I
was brought into this condition, as you hear from my own lips, and as all the
witnesses who saw me at the time have testified. Afterwards, although the

concern, continuous attacks of fever ensued and violent and acute pains
throughout all my body, but especially in my sides and the pit of my stomach,
and I was unable to take my food.
