Chapter XXI.—Appion
and Athenodorus Return in Quest of Faustus.
But Peter said: “God arranges our
affairs in a most satisfactory manner;1541
| 1541 We read ἐπιτηδειότατα, in harmony with the Recognitions. |
for we have with us Annubion the astrologer.1542
| 1542 Part in
italics supplied from Recognitions. | For when we arrive at Antioch, he
will in future discourse regarding genesis, giving us his genuine
opinions as a friend.” Now when, after midnight, our father
hurried with those whom Peter had ordered to go along with him and with
Annubion to Antioch, which was near, early next day, before Peter went
forth to discourse, Appion and Athenodorus, who had convoyed Simon,
returned to Laodicea in search of our father. But Peter,
ascertaining the fact, urged them to enter. And when they came in
and sat down, and said, “Where is Faustus?” Peter
answered: “We know not; for since the evening, when he went
to you, he has not been seen by his kinsmen. But yesterday
morning Simon came in search of him; and when we made no reply to him,
something seemed to come over him,1543
| 1543 The Greek is
probably corrupt here; but there can scarcely be a doubt about the
meaning. | for he
called himself Faustus; but not being believed, he wept and lamented,
and threatened to kill himself, and then rushed out in the direction of
the sea.”
