He who reared me, sold me to one named Rhoda in Rome. After many years, I met her again, and began to love her as a sister.
2
After a certain time I saw her bathing in the river Tiber, and I gave her my hand and led her out of the river.
3
Seeing her beauty, I reflected in my heart, saying: Happy were I if I had such a one to wife both in beauty and in character. I merely reflected on this and nothing more.
4
After a certain time, as I was journeying to Cumae and glorifying God's creation for its greatness, beauty and power, as I walked I fell asleep.
5
And a spirit took me, and bore me away through a pathless tract, through which no man could pass: for the place was precipitous, and broken into clefts by reason of the waters.
6
When I had crossed the river, I came into the level country, and knelt down and began to pray to the Lord and to confess my sins.
