His name is Faustinianus. He obtained as his wife a woman of the highest rank, Matthidia by name. By her he had three sons, two of whom were twins; and the one who was the younger, whose name was Clement, is this man!\u201d When he said this, he pointed to me with his finger. \u201cAnd his twin sons are these men, Niceta and Aquila, the one of whom was formerly called Faustinus and the other Faustus.\u201d 852 But as soon as Peter pronounced our names, all the old man\u2019s limbs were weakened, and he fell down in a swoon. But we his sons rushed to him, and embraced and kissed him, fearing that we might not be able to recall his spirit. And while these things were going on, the people were confounded with very wonder.\n[Compare the account of the recognition in Homily XIV. 9.\u2014R.]","title":"Ante-Nicene Fathers, Vol VIII: Pseudo-Clementine Literature.: Chapter XXXV","type":"page"}
