Note 2 — LXXXIII How Christ going one day with his disciples in a deserted place, they saw great treasure

Edward Storer translation

Then he gave one of the breads to the mule, and ate the other himself. The bread was poisoned. The man fell down dead, and so did the mule, before they could leave the spot, and the gold remained untouched as it had been before2.
