1348. They are naked men or women, some only to the navel, the lower part not appearing except like a small dark cloud, because they were lacking those qualities that are symbolized by the loins. Some of the males or females appear only dimly nude, being the ones who are better behaved. For they greet each other, then circle around, returning from behind, and when they face each other they greet one another [again]. These are the ones who are inwardly like the others, but who like to keep up an appearance, in their mind committing the same deeds, for they belong to that gang.
