    Benmar N. Ocol
    Virgil approves of what Dante says by looking at him with approval as they stand together. Simon Magus panders for silver and gold instead of wedded love and righteousness. In the punishment of the Simoniacs, a sinner's legs stick out from every mouth, with the soles ablaze and joints quivering. Nicholas III mistakes Dante for Boniface VIII. Matthias was chosen to replace Judas as the disciple. Virgil pulls Dante aside when a huge black demon runs toward them across the ridge. A barrator is one for whom "Yes" means "No" and vice versa for a fee. All cry for Malacoda to go. An earthquake that destroyed
