1. Intereā cum dē mōtū atque impetū barbarōrum subita cīvitātem fama turbāsset, daemoniācum ad sē exhibērī iubet: imperat ut, an vērus esset hic nuntius, faterētur. 2. tum cōnfessus est decem daemonās sēcum fuisse, quī rumōrem hunc per populum dispersissent, ut hōc saltim metū ex illō Martīnus oppidō fugārētur: barbarōs nihil minus quam de irruptiōne cōgitāre. ita cum haec immundus spiritus in mediā ecclēsiā faterētur, metū et turbātiōne praesentī cīvitās līberāta est. 3. Apud Parīsiōs vērō, dum portam cīvitātis illius magnīs sēcum turbīs euntibus introīret, leprōsum miserābilī faciē horrentibus cunctīs osculātus est atque benedīxit, statimque omnī malō ēmundātus. 4. posterō diē ad ecclēsiam veniēns nitentī cute grātiās prō sānitāte, quam recēperat, agēbat. nec praetereundum est, quod fimbriae vestimentō eius ciliciōque dētractae crēbrās super īnfirmantibus ēgēre virtūtēs. 5. nam digitīs illigātae aut collō indītae saepe ab aegrotāntibus morbōs fugāvērunt.
