Dante remembers a time in Troy when many people turned on each other and acted like animals. Dante sees much worse in the second group of hell where falsifiers of other persons sink their teeth in to each other and act like beasts. Dante speaks with Gianni Schicchi, a Florentine who impersonated Buoso Donati. He also sees Myrrha, a woman who fell in love with her father and disguised herself as another woman in order to gratify her lust. The sinners in the third zone are the falsifiers of coins.

Dante speaks with Master Adam who counterfeited Florentine money and now suffers from thirst. Adam points out people from the Romena family in the fourth group which are the falsifiers of words, or liars. The wife of Potiphar is here for falsely accusing Joseph of trying to seduce her. Sinon, a Greek from Troy is also here. Sinon and Adam fight with each other about their punishments for the sins they committed. Virgil yells at Dante for listening to such a ridiculous argument.

I was intent on listening to them when this was what my master said: "If you insist on looking more, I'll quarrel with you!"

In the eighth circle and the tenth pouch of hell the falsifiers suffer from horrible plagues and diseases. Master Adam talks about how the rivulets fall into the Arno down from the green hills of the casentino, and how they constantly torment him. The moat surrounds them.
