Chapter
XXVI.—Recapitulation.
And when I had said this, Peter began to relate
the whole matter to them in order,797
| 797 [This account is
fuller than that in Homily XIII. 2.—R.] | and said,
“When we had come to Aradus,798
| 798 There is a
confusion in the text between Aradus and Antaradus. [Aradus is
the name of the Island, Antaradus that of the neighbouring
city.—R.] | and I had
ordered you to go on before us, the same day after you had gone,
Clement was led in the course of conversation to tell me of his
extraction and his family, and how he had been deprived of his parents,
and had had twin brothers older than himself, and that, as his father
told him, his mother once saw a vision, by which she was ordered to
depart from the city of Rome with her twin sons, else she and they
should suddenly perish. And when she had told his father the
dream, he, loving his sons with tender affection, and afraid of any
evil befalling them, put his wife and sons on board a ship with all
necessaries, and sent them to Athens to be educated. Afterwards
he sent once and again persons to inquire after them, but nowhere found
even a trace of them. At last the father himself went on the
search, and until now he is nowhere to be found. When
Clement had given me this narrative, there came one to us, asking us to
go to the neighbouring island of Aradus, to see vine-wood columns of
wonderful size. I consented; and when we came to the place, all
the rest went into the interior of the temple; but I—for what
reason I know not—had no mind to go farther.
