Ἐκεῖνοι δὲ οἱ κελευθέντες τὸν Κλήμεντα κατασχεῖν τε καὶ σύρειν τοὺς κειμένους στύλους δεσμοῦντες εἷλκον, ποτὲ μὲν ἔνδοθεν εἰς τὰ ἔξω, ποτὲ δὲ ἐκ τῶν ἔξω εἰς τὰ ἔσω· τοῦτο δὲ καὶ αὐτῷ τῷ Σισιννίῳ ἐδόκει, ὅτι περ τὸν ἅγιον Κλήμεντα δεδεμένον κατέχουσιν καὶ ἕλκουσιν. πρὸς ὃν ὁ ἅγιος Κλήμης ἰδὼν ἔφη· ἡ σκληρότης τῆς καρδίας σου εἰς λίθους ἐτράπη· ἐπειδὴ γὰρ τοὺς λίθους δοξάζεις εἶναι θεοὺς, λίθους σύρειν κεκλήρωσαι.
