Unus tamen repertus, venam eius iterum saepiusque pungendo, ne guttam quidem cruoris elicere potuit, internis nimietate calorum ambustis, vel (ut quidam existimabant), arefactis ideo membris, quod meatus aliqui (quos haemorrhoidas nunc appellamus), obserati sunt gelidis frigoribus concrustati.
At last however one was found, but although he repeatedly pierced a vein, he could not draw even a single drop of blood, since the emperors inner parts were consumed by excessive heat, or (as some thought) because his body was dried up, since some passages for the blood (which we now call hemorrhoids) were closed and incrusted by the cold chills.
