87:6.6

And when the first had died like this, they brought the second to the mocking; and they pulled off the skin of his head with the hair and asked him, “Will you eat, before your body is punished in every limb?”

For either slaughtering children in solemn rites, or celebrating secret mysteries, or holding frenzied revels of strange customs,

Now this one endured this praiseworthy death. The third was brought along, and exhorted by many to taste and save his life. But he cried out and said, “Don’t you know that the father of those who are dead is my father also, and that the same mother bore me, and that I was brought up in the same way? I don’t renounce the noble relationship of my kindred. Now then, whatever instrument of vengeance you have, apply it to my body, for you aren’t able to touch my soul, even if you want to.” But they, highly incensed at his boldness of speech, dislocated his hands and feet with racking engines, and wrenching them from their sockets, dismembered him. They dragged around his fingers, his arms, his legs, and his ankles. Not being able by any means to strangle him, they tore off his skin, together with the extreme tips of his fingers, and then dragged him to the wheel, around which his vertebral joints were loosened, and he saw his own flesh torn to shreds, and streams of blood flowing from his entrails. When about to die, he said, “We, O accursed tyrant, suffer this for the sake of Divine education and virtue. But you, for your impiety and blood shedding, will endure unceasing torments.”
