Homily XII.
Chapter I.—Two Bands.
Therefore starting from
Tripolis of Phœnicia to go to Antioch of Syria, on the same day we
came to Orthasia, and there stayed.1141

correspondence of Homilies XII., XIII., with Recognitions, vii.,
see note on vii. 1. Chaps. 1–24 here agree quite closely,
even in the divisions of chapters, with Recognitions, vii.
1–24.—R.] | And on
account of its being near the city which we had left, almost all having
heard the preaching before, we stopped there only one day, and set out
to Antaradus. And as there were many who journeyed with us,
Peter, addressing Nicetus and Aquila, said, “Inasmuch as the
great crowd of those who journey with us draws upon us no little envy
as we enter city after city, I have thought that we must of necessity
arrange, so that neither, on the one hand, these may be grieved at
being prevented from accompanying us, nor, on the other hand, we, by
being so conspicuous, may fall under the envy of the wicked.1142
| 1142 Literally, “of
wickedness.” | Wherefore I wish you, Nicetus and
Aquila, to go before me in two separate bodies, and enter secretly into
the Gentile cities.
