993. Those who constitute the province of the colon are similar. They are infernal and also inflated, and they do not want to be able to be terrified. They are inflated like the colon swollen with wind. They wanted to attack that spirit [of the peritoneum, n. 990], and wanted to leap over their wall, but a new wall was always interposed, so that they were unable to attack him. In the human body it is the same with the colon and the peritoneum, also with the bladder and the peritoneum, and with the ureters and the peritoneum. These viscera lie within the folds of the peritoneum, and are castigated and held in subservience; but it casts out the impurities or phlegms to the ureters.
