For assuredly I shall take good care, when I reach that place, to make such statements in regard to you as I ought to make.\u201d And Peter again suggested: \u201cWhen, then, you perceive the city changing from its hatred of me, and longing to see me, send information to me of this, and I shall come to you immediately. And when I arrive there, that same day I shall remove the strange shape which now invests you, and I shall make your own unmistakeably visible to your own people and to all others.\u201d Saying this, he made his sons, my brothers, and our mother Mattidia to go along with him; and he also commanded some of his more intimate acquaintances to accompany him. But my mother was 1538 unwilling to go with him, and said: \u201cI seem to be an adulteress if I associate with the shape of Simon; but if I shall be compelled to go along with him, 1539 it is impossible for me to recline on the same couch with him! But I do not know if I shall be persuaded to go along with him.\u201d And while she was very unwilling to go, Annubion urged her, saying: \u201cBelieve me and Peter, and the very voice itself, that this is Faustus your husband, whom I love not less than you. And I myself will go 1540 along with him.\u201d When Annubion said this, our mother promised to go with him.\nWe have changed \u03b5\u1f36\u03b4\u03b5 into \u03b5\u1f36\u03ba\u03b5, and added \u03ba\u03b1\u1f76 \u03b5\u1f36\u03c0\u03b5, according to the Recognitions.\n345:1539\nOne word, \u03c4\u03cd\u03c7\u03b7\u03c2, is superfluous.\n345:1540\nSupplied from the Recognitions.","title":"Ante-Nicene Fathers, Vol VIII: Pseudo-Clementine Literature.: Chapter XX","type":"page"}
