- Translation by Nina G. Garsoïan
- And his mother looked and saw with her own eyes white serpents which were wrapped around the feet of the couch and were twisting themselves over young Pap as he lay there. He remained on the bed wailing and calling to the youths with whom he was accustomed to have intercourse, but his mother understood and remembered those to whom her son had been devoted at birth. She knew that they were the ones who were twisting themselves around her son in the shape of serpents.
