2867. About those who hold the principle of sharing everything

There are those who hold the principle of sharing everything, thus even wives, so they have mixed intercourse. They have been discussed previously, I believe [see 1976]. These are a very long way off, high up in front. They speak as if they were good, but they are wicked as well as deceitful, so their punishment also has to do with serpents, by which they are bound together as if in a bundle so that the serpent bound around them expands laterally and thus covers them all over like a bundled ball, and they are cast away. 1748, 20 Aug.
