7 Καὶ δὴ φθάσαντες τὴν Ῥώμην παρέστησαν τὸν ἀπόστολον τῷ βασιλεῖ. ὁ δὲ ἀπόστολος εἰσελθὼν ἐνώπιον τοῦ βασιλέως καὶ ἐγγίσας αὐτὸν ἐφίλησεν αὐτὸν κατὰ τοῦ στέρνους καὶ τῆς κεφαλῆς. ὁ δὲ βασιλεὺς πρὸς αὐτὸν ἔφη· Πῶς σὺ ἐμὲ πεφίληκας; ἐγὼ γάρ εἰμι ἄνθρωπος· σὺ δὲ ὡς ἀκούω θεὸν ἐπουράνιον προσκυνεῖν καὶ σέβειν πάντας ἀνθρώπους διθάσκεις. Ὁ δὲ θεολόγος πρὸς τὸν βασιλέα ἔφη· Ἐπειδὴ γέγραπται Καρθία βασιλέως ἐν χειρὶ κυρίου· καὶ πάλιν Χεὶρ κυρίου ἐπὶ κορυφὴν βασιλέως, τούτου χάριν πεφίληκά σου τὸ στῆθος καὶ τὴν κορυφήν.
