         Comments: It may be necessary in some languages to restructure the expression ‘stopped the prophet’s insane action.’ This can often be done by saying ‘prevented the prophet from acting like a crazy person.’ In other languages παραφρονία is best rendered by an idiomatic expression such as ‘wandering thoughts’ or ‘twisted thoughts.’
