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 ἄμοιρος ἡμέρα γένηται, ἀφ’ ἧς τὰ ἐμαυτῆς ἀπέλαβον τέκνα, καθ’ ἣν ἂν οὐ συνεστιαθείην αὐτοῖς. καὶ ἡμῶν δὲ τὰ ὅμοια τῇ μητρὶ συνικετευόντων ὁ Πέτρος ἔφη· τί οἴεσθε, μόνος ἐγὼ ἄσπλαγχνός εἰμι, ὅτι μὴ βούλομαι συνεστιαθῆναι ὑμᾶς τῇ μητρὶ σήμερον βαπτίσας αὐτήν; οὐ μὲν οὖν. ἀλλὰ κἂν μίαν ἡμέραν πρὸ τοῦ βαπτισθῆναι νηστεῦσαι αὐτὴν δεῖ, ἐπεὶ καί τινα ὑπὲρ ἑαυτῆς ἐφθέγξατο ἡ μήτηρ· τάχα γὰρ εἰ μὴ τοῦτο, πολλῶν ἡμερῶν αὐτὴν ἁγνισθῆναι ἔδει.
