[2] Afterwards they are taken to women of genuine innocence. When they try to deceive them in the same way, the women are given the power to punish them severely. For they induce in their hands and feet, and also in their necks, a numbing heaviness, which ends by making them feel as if they are fainting. After experiencing this they tear themselves away from them. After this they find a way open which takes them to a group of promiscuous women, who have learned cunningly to counterfeit innocence. These women first of all make fun of them, and finally after various promises allow themselves to be raped.

[3] After a number of such scenes the third stage takes over, that of judgment. Then they are found guilty and sink down, being gathered to those like them in a hell in the northern quarter; there they look from a distance like weasels. But if they had been deeply attached to deceit, they are carried down from this to the hell of the deceitful, which is in the western quarter, deep down at the back. Seen from a distance in this they look like snakes of different kinds, the most deceitful like vipers. But when I was allowed to look into their hell, they seemed to me a sickly yellow with a chalk-white face. Being nothing but desires they do not like talking, and if they do they only mutter and make various murmuring noises, which no one but the companions beside them can understand. But soon, as they sit or stand, they make themselves hard to see, flitting around their cave like ghosts. For at this time they are fantasising, and this gives them the appearance of flying. After their flight they settle again; and then, a strange thing, they do not recognise one another. This is because they are deceitful, and deceit does not believe another, but withdraws itself. When any feeling of conjugial love strikes them, they take refuge in underground rooms and hide away. For they are without any sexual love and are totally impotent. They are called hellish genii.
