Καὶ ὁ Πέτρος οὐδεὶς δέ σοι ἀληθῶς, ἔφη, πρὸς γένους ὑπάρχει; κἀγὼ ἀπεκρινάμην· εἰσὶ μὲν πολλοὶ καὶ μεγάλοι ἄνδρες Καίσαρι προσήκοντες κατὰ γένος. ὅθεν τῷ ἐμῷ πατρὶ ὡς καὶ συντρόφῳ Καῖσαρ γυναῖκα συγγενῆ συνηρμόσατο, ἀφ’ ἧς τρεῖς ἐγενόμεθα υἱοί· δύο μὲν πρὸ ἐμοῦ οἵ καὶ δίδυμοι ὄντες κομιδῆ ὅμοιοι ἀλλήλοις ἐτύγχανον, ὡς ὁ πατὴρ ἐξηγεῖτό μοι. ἐγὼ γὰρ οὔτε αὐτοὺς, οὔτε τὴν τεκοῦσαν πάνυ ἐπίσταμαι, ἀλλ’ ὥσπερ δι’ ὀνείρων ἀμυδρὸν αὐτῶν καὶ τὸ εἶδος ἀναφέρω. ἡ μὲν οὖν μήτηρ μου Ματθιδία ἐλέγετο, ὁ δὲ πατὴρ Φαῦστος, οἱ δὲ ἀδελφοὶ ὁ μὲν Φαυστῖνος, ὁ δὲ Φαυστινιανὸς ἐκαλεῖτο. ἐμοῦ οὖν τοῦ τρίτου ἐπιγεννηθέντος αὐτοῖς, ἡ μήτηρ ὄνειρον ἑωράκει, ὡς ὁ πατὴρ ὑφηγεῖτο, ὅτι ἐὰν μὴ τοὺς διδύμους αὐτῆς υἱοὺς ἐξαυτῆς παραλαβοῦσα τῆς Ῥωμαίων ἀποδημήσῃ πόλεως ἐπὶ ἔτη δέκα, πανωλεθρίῳ σὺν αὐτοῖς ἀποθανεῖται θανάτῳ.
