Greek text · Dindorf 4:444

σφοδρότερον δʼ ἔτι μᾶλλον τῆς θέρμης αὐτὸν ἐκ βάθους μυελῶν καταφλεγούσης προπηδῶσι μὲν αὐτῷ τὰ ὄμματα, καὶ τῆς ἰδίας λήξεως ἀποπεσόντα πηρὸν αὐτὸν ἀφίησιν.

And as the heat burned him still more violently from the depths of his marrow, his eyes sprang out and, falling from their sockets, left him blind.
