Book Two - Chapter 23

Of a woman who had lost the use of one side.

To the same church at the aforesaid festival there was brought a certain woman who at a time when she was sleeping was struck with paralysis and had lost the use of one side, and remained a considerable time thus with the loss of her limbs. This woman, being healed on the most holy night of the festival, with joy and great rejoicing returned sound to her own home.
