Perhaps past reference is to be assumed:

מאן הוא נחשא דפרח באוירא ואזיל בפירודא

Who is the serpent who flew through the air and was going away on its own (apart)?

I don’t know what is being referred to, if anything, but it reminds me, not of satan, but of the winged serpents, or seraphim, in Isaiah 6 and elsewhere.
