Λαβόμενος οὖν τῆς χειρὸς αὐτῆς ὁ Πέτρος ἤγειρεν ἐπὶ τὸ πλοῖον. ἐγὼ δὲ ἰδὼν αὐτὸν χειραγωγοῦντα γυναῖκα ἐγέλασα, καὶ προσελθών, εἰς τιμὴν αὐτοῦ, ἀντ᾽ αὐτοῦ χειραγωγεῖν αὐτὴν ἐπειρώμην. καὶ ἅμα τῷ ἅψασθαί με τῆς χειρὸς αὐτῆς ὀλολύξασα ὡς μήτηρ μέγα καὶ περιπλακεῖσα σφόδρα κατεφίλει με τὸν αὐτῆς υἱόν. ἐγὼ δὲ ἀγνοῶν ὅλον τὸ πρᾶγμα ὡς μαινομένην ἀπεσειόμην, αἰδούμενος δὲ καὶ τὸν Πέτρον ἐπικραινόμην.
