But he, as he afterwards told me the whole, being struck with a sort of suspicion, asked of the woman her family, and her country, and the names of her sons; \u201cand straightway,\u201d he said, \u201cif you tell me these things, I shall give you the remedy.\u201d But she, like one suffering violence, because she would not confess these things, and yet was desirous of the remedy, feigned one thing after another, saying that she was an Ephesian, and her husband a Sicilian, and giving false names to her sons. Then Peter, supposing that she had answered truly, said: \u201cAlas! O woman, I thought that some great joy should spring up to us to-day; for I suspected that you were a certain woman, concerning whom I lately learned certain like things.\u201d But she adjured him, saying: \u201cI entreat you to tell me what they are, p. 161 that I may know if amongst women there be one more unfortunate than myself.\u201d","title":"Ante-Nicene Fathers, Vol VIII: Pseudo-Clementine Literature.: Chapter XIX","type":"page"}
