To this Peter assented, as he was very complaisant; but he charged us that, when we left the ship, we should not rush all together to see it: \u201cfor,\u201d said he, \u201cI do not wish you to be noticed by the crowd.\u201d When therefore, next day, we reached the island by ship in the course of an hour, forthwith we hastened to the place where the wonderful columns were. They were placed in a certain temple, in which there were very magnificent works of Phidias, on which every one of us gazed earnestly.","title":"Ante-Nicene Fathers, Vol VIII: Pseudo-Clementine Literatu...","type":"page"}
