Shulucheh. The Odyssey of a Pontian and other short stories of Pontus

… The third child was Mυροfora. She married, but her husband died of a cold and she died three years later of tuberculosis (without children). The fourth child was Anastasis. She was a sheep herder. A tick (mite) got stuck on him. He was poisoned by its poison, opened a wound and returned to the sickness “ylang-jooch”. In Samsun a doctor, Chatal-Sahal, had snakes in bottles. To understand if it was the male disease he left the male snake, but it did not sit in the wound and went into the bottle. He left the female. This one sat in the wound. The female ylang-woo was not cured. The male had a chance to be cured, because he was not multiplying. So he died after a year.
