Καὶ ὁ Πέτρος ψεύδεσθαι οὐκ εἰδὼς καὶ ἄλλως ὑπὸ ἐλέους τοῦ πρὸς αὐτὴν ἑλκόμενος τὸ ἀληθὲς λέγειν ἤρξατο. ἐμοί τίς ἐστι νεανίας, ὦ γύναι, τῶν τῆς θεοσεβείας ὀρεγόμενος λόγων, Ῥωμαίων ὑπάρχων πολίτης, ὅστις μοι διηγεῖται, πῶς πατέρα τε ἔχων καὶ ἀδελφοὺς δύο διδύμους οὐδένα τούτων ὁρᾷ. ἥ τε γὰρ μήτηρ ὡς ὁ πατὴρ, φησὶ, διηγεῖτό μοι, ὄνειρον ἰδοῦσα τῆς Ῥωμαίων πόλεως ἐπὶ χρόνον τινὰ ἐξῄει μετὰ τῶν διδύμων αὐτῆς τέκνων, ἵνα μὴ κακῷ τελευτήσῃ θανάτῳ, καὶ σὺν αὐτοῖς ἐκβᾶσα νῦν οὐχ εὑρίσκεται· ὁ δὲ ταύτης μὲν ἀνὴρ, αὐτοῦ δὲ πατὴρ, καὶ αὐτὸς εἰς ἐπιζήτησιν αὐτῆς ἐκβὰς, οὐδὲ οὑτος εὑρίσκεται.
