One man who nearly died in this manner was the son of a man referred to as "Braginoco" by the Portuguese mercenaries who were the proximate cause of that incident. Another (*)  man who died in this manner copied out nearly the entirety of  Medea and passed it off of a philosophical treatise. One man nicknamed for this process was contrasted via that nickname with Leucippus. King Nanda Bayin of Pegu was temporarily struck dumb after responding in this way to a comment that Venice was a kingdom without a King, and Chrysippus died while doing this in response to a drunken donkey's attempts to eat a fig. For ten points, name this action, part of the nickname of the theorist of the atom, Democritus, and part of the name of a Frans Hals painting of a cavalier.
