Book VII.
Chapter I.—Journey from
Tripolis.
At length leaving
Tripolis,791
| 791 [The narrative
of book vii. is given in Homilies XII., XIII.; chap. 38 including some
details of Homily XIV. 1. The variations in the narrative
portions are unimportant: but the Homilies contain longer
discourses of the Apostle. Chaps 1–24 here correspond quite
exactly with Homily XII. 1–24; the topics of the respective
chapters being the same, and the variations mainly in forms of
expression.—R.] | a city of
Phœnicia, we made our first halt at Ortosias, not far from
Tripolis; and there we remained the next day also, because almost all
those that had believed in the Lord, unable to part from Peter,
followed him thus far. Thence we came to Antharadus. But
because there were many in our company, Peter said to Niceta and
Aquila: “As there are immense crowds of brethren with as,
and we bring upon ourselves no little envy as we enter into every city,
it seems to me that we must take means, without doing so unpleasing a
thing as to prevent their following us, to secure that the wicked one
shall not stir up envy against us on account of any display! I
wish, therefore, that you, Niceta and Aquila, would go before us with
them, so that you may lead the multitude divided into two sections,
that we may enter every city of the Gentiles travelling apart, rather
than in one assemblage.
