944. Women who from low and squalid circumstances have become wealthy, and consequently from self-exaltation have surrendered themselves completely to pleasures, and to a life of luxury and ease, stretching out on couches like queens, taking their places at tables and dinner parties, and caring about nothing else, come grievously to blows when they meet in the next life. They pound and tear each other, and pull each other by the hair, and become like furies.
