Αὐδυναίου δὲ μηνὸς ἡμέρᾳ μιᾷ καὶ δεκάτῃ, εἴη δ’ ἂν ἡ πρὸ τριῶν Εἰδῶν Ἰαννουαρίων, ἐπὶ τῆς αὐτῆς Καισαρείας Πέτρος ἀσκητὴς, ὁ καὶ Ἀψέλαμος, ἀπὸ Ἀνέας κώμης τῶν ὅρων Ἐλευθεροπόλεως, διὰ πυρὸς, οἶα χρυσὸς ἀκραιφνέστατος, τῆς εἰς τὸν Χριστὸν τοῦ θεοῦ πίστεως εὐγενεῖ λογισμῷ τὴν δοκιμὴν ἀποδέδωκε, μυρία μὲν λιπαροῦντας τόν τε δικαστὴν καὶ τοὺς ἀμφ’ αὐτὸν, ὡς ἂν ἐλεήσειέ τε αὐτὸν καὶ τῆς ἰδίας φείσαιτο νεότητός τε καὶ ἀκμῆς, ὑπεριδὼν, προτιμήσας δ’ ἁπάντων καὶ ζωῆς αὐτῆς τὴν ἐπὶ τὸν τῶν ὅλων θεὸν ἐλπίδα.
