Ταῦτα τοῦ Πέτρου εἰπόντος ἐπιστήσασα τὸν νοῦν αὐτοῖς ὑπὸ ἐκπλήξεως ἀπέψυξεν ἡ γυνή. ὁ δὲ Πέτρος νήφειν αὐτὴν παρακελευσάμενος, τί ποτέ ἐστιν ὃ πάσχεις, διεπυνθάνετο. ἡ δὲ ὥσπερ ἐκ μέθης ἀνενεγκοῦσα καὶ τὸ πρόσωπον τρίψασα καὶ ποῦ ἐστίν, ἔφη, ποῦ ὁ θρυλλούμενος νεανίας; συνεὶς δὲ ὁ Πέτρος τὸ δρᾶμα εἰπέ μοι σὺ πρῶτον, ἔφη· ἄλλως γὰρ ἰδεῖν τοῦτον οὐ δύνασαι. ἡ δὲ σπεύδουσα ἐγὼ, φησὶν, ἡ τοῦ νεανίσκου μήτηρ εἰμὶ, καὶ Κλήμης αὐτῷ ὄνομα. καὶ ὁ Πέτρος ἀκούσας αὐτός ἐστιν, εἶπεν, αὐτός ἐστι. καὶ οὗτος ἦν ὁ πρὸ μικροῦ προσελθὼν καὶ λαλήσας μοι, ὃν καὶ ἀναμένειν ἐν τῷ πλοίῳ προσέταξα. ἡ δὲ προσπεσοῦσα τῷ Πέτρῳ ἠξίου σπεύδειν ἐπὶ τὸ πλοῖον. καὶ ὁ Πέτρος εἴ μοι τηρεῖς, ἔφη, τὰς συνθήκας, καὶ τοῦτο ποιήσω. ἡ δὲ πάντα ποιῶ, φησὶ, μόνον μοι τὸ τέκνον τὸ μονογενὲς γνώρισον· δόξω γὰρ δἰ αὐτοῦ καὶ τὰ δύο μου τὰ ἐνταῦθα τεθνηκότα τέκνα ὁρᾶν. καὶ ὁ Πέτρος ἀλλ’ ὅταν αὐτὸν ἴδῃς, ἡσύχασον, μέχρις ἂν τῆς νήσου ἐκβῶμεν.
