Ταῦτα εἰπὼν ὁ πατὴρ δημοσίᾳ ὡς ἐκ προσώπου Σίμωνος καὶ Πέτρον εὐλογήσας τὴν πᾶσαν Ἀντιοχέων πόλιν εἰς πόθον μετέθηκεν. καὶ ἐκ τούτου πάντας ἐπιθυμεῖν ἰδεῖν αὐτὸν ἀπήγγελλον· ἐνίους καὶ χαλεπαίνοντας αὐτῷ ὡς Σίμωνι, δι’ ἣν πρὸς Πέτρον εἶχον ὑπερβάλλουσαν στοργὴν, καὶ χεῖρας θέλειν ἐπιβαλεῖν Φαύστῳ ὡς Σίμωνι. διὸ μήπως ἀναιρεθῇ δεδοικὼς, ἐξαυτῆς ἐλθεῖν πέμψας ἠξίου τὸν Πέτρον, ὅπως αὐτὸν ζῶντα ἐπικαταλάβῃ, καὶ τῇ πόλει ἀκμαζούσῃ πόθῳ τῷ πρὸς αὐτὸν εὐκαίρως ἐπιφανῇ. Πέτρος δὲ ταῦτα ἀκούσας, πρὸς τὸ ἐκκλησιάζειν πλείστους συναγαγὼν, καὶ ἐπίσκοπον καταστήσας βαπτίσας τε καὶ ἰασάμενος, ἡμερῶν ἐπιμείνας τριῶν τῇ Λαοδικείᾳ, ἐπὶ τὴν πλησίον ὁρμήσειν Ἀντιόχειαν ἔσπευσεν.
