86 Καὶ εὐξάμενος οὕτως καὶ δοξάσας ἐξῄει τοῦ μνήματος, κοινωνήσας τοῖς ἀδελφοῖς πᾶσι τῆς τοῦ κυρίου εὐχαριστίας· καὶ γενόμενος ἐν τοῖς Ἀνδρονίκου ἔλεγε τοῖς ἀδελφοῖς·
Ἀδεδφοί, πνεῦμά τι ἐν ἐμοὶ ἐμαντεύσατο τὸν Φουρτουνᾶτον ἀπὸ τῆς τοῦ ὄφεως πληγῆς μελανίᾳ μέλλοντι τεθνάναι· ἀλλὰ μαθέτω τις τάχιον πορευθεὶς εἰ ἄρα οὕτως ἔχει. Καὶ δραμών τις τῶν νεανίσκων εὗρον αὐτὸν λοιπὸν τεθνηκότα καὶ τὴν μελανίαν νεμομένην καὶ ἁψαμένης τῆς καρδίας αὐτοῦ·
καὶ ἐλθὼν ἀνήγγειλε τῷ Ἰωάννῃ τρίωρον αὐτὸν τεθνάναι. καὶ εἶπεν ὁ Ἰωάννης· Ἀπέχει τὸ τέκνον σου διάβολε.

[86] And having so prayed and given glory to God, he went out of the sepulchre after imparting unto all the brethren of the eucharist of the Lord. And when he was come unto Andronicus’ house he said to the brethren: Brethren, a spirit within me hath divined that Fortunatus is about to die of blackness (poisoning of the blood) from the bite of the serpent; but let some one go quickly and learn if it is so indeed. And one of the young men ran and found him dead and the blackness spreading over him, and it had reached his heart: and came and told John that he had been dead three hours. And John said: Thou hast thy child, O devil.
