Penyakit itu berlangsung hari demi hari. Ketika tiba saat berakhirnya masa itu, yaitu sesudah dua tahun, isi perutnya keluar karena penyakitnya, dan ia mati karena penyakit-penyakit yang parah. Rakyatnya tidak mengadakan upacara pembakaran baginya seperti pembakaran yang diadakan bagi leluhurnya.
Mishnah Avodah Zarah
These are the festivities of the idolaters: Kalenda, Saturnalia, Kratesis, the anniversary of accession to the throne and birthdays and anniversaries of deaths, according to Rabbi Meir. But the Sages say: a death at which burning [of articles of the dead] takes place is attended by idolatry, but where there is not such burning there is no idolatry. But the day of shaving ones beard and lock of hair, or the day of landing after a sea voyage, or the day of release from prison, or if an idolater holds a banquet for his son the prohibition only applies to that day and that particular person.
