Ταῦτα τοῦ Φαυστίνου εἰπόντος ἡ μήτηρ ἡμῶν προσέπεσε τῷ Πέτρῳ δεομένη καὶ ἀξιοῦσα, ὅπως αὐτήν τε καὶ τὴν ξενοδόχον αὐτῆς μεταπεμψάμενος βαπτίσῃ, ἵνα, φησὶ, μηδεμία τις ἡμέρα ἄμοιρος γένηται, ἀφ’ ἧς τὰ ἐμαυτῆς ἀπέλαβον τέκνα, μὴ συνεστιαθεῖσα αὐτοῖς. ταῦτα οὖν καὶ ἡμῶν τῇ μητρὶ συμπαρακαλεσάντων ὁ Πέτρος ἔφη· τί νομίζετε, ἐγὼ μόνος ἄσπλαγχνός εἰμι, ὅτι μὴ βούλομαι ὑμᾶς συνεστιασθῆναι τῇ μητρὶ, βαπτίσας αὐτὴν σήμερον; ἀλλὰ κἂν μίαν ἡμέραν πρὸ τοῦ βαπτισθῆναι νηστεῦσαι αὐτὴν δεῖ, ἐπειδὴ ἁπλῶς τινὰ ἱπὲρ ἑαυτῆς ἐφθέγξατο ἡ μήτηρ, ἐπεὶ πολλῶν ἡμερῶν αὐτὴν ἀφελληνισθῆναι ἔδει.
