Καὶ ὁ Πέτρος ψεύδεσθαι οὐκ εἰδὼς ὑπὸ ἐλέους τοῦ πρὸς αὐτὴν τὸ ἀληθὲς λέγειν ἤρξατο ἐμοί τις λοιπὸν ἤδη νεανίας ὤν παρέπεται, τῶν τῆς θεοσεβείας ὀρεγόμενος λόγων, Ῥωμαίων ὑπάρχων πολίτης, ὅστις μοι διηγεῖται, πῶς πατέρα ἔχων καὶ ἀδελφοὺς δύο διδύμους οὐδένα τούτων ὁρᾷ. ἥ τε γὰρ μήτηρ, φησίν, ὡς ὁ πατὴρ διηγεῖτό μοι, ἐξῆλθεν ὄνειρον ἰδοῦσα τὴν Ῥωμαίων πόλιν ἐπὶ χρόνον τῶν διδύμων αὐτῆς τέκνων, ἵνα μὴ κακῷ μόρῳ τελευτήσῃ, καὶ σὺν αὐτοῖς ἐκβᾶσα οὐχ εὑρίσκεται. μὲν ἀνήρ, αὐτοῦ δὲ πατὴρ καὶ αὐτὸς εἰς ἐπιζήτησιν οὐχ εὑρίσκεται.
