1062. About those who constitute the province of the colon

As is known, the colon has a large extension. Likewise, those spirits who relate to the colon also cover quite a distance, but still in both quarters, that is, to the left, as said before [see 1003]. There are, however, those who are still more to the left, who are worse, and so it goes on toward hell. So the province of the colon extends to hell, or the hellish sewer, just as the colon extends to the rectum, which is [like] the hellish sewer.
