750. There is a boundary point beyond which they are not allowed to pass. From it, a line extends away in both directions toward two cities, so that a triangle is formed when lines are drawn from the boundary point to both cities, and from one city to the other. One city, a city of the evil, is not far from Gehenna but more to the left, where the dragon appeared several times when he wanted to call together his own evil spirits to form a wicked society or conspiracy against the good, that is, against the Lord. Thereabouts is the city of the evil. Those who seem to themselves to live there, in fantasy rush around the streets, ankle-deep in mud, moaning and complaining miserably.
