He who brought me up sold me to a certain[*] Rhoda at Rome. After many years I made her acquaintance again, and began to love her as a sister.[*]

After some time I saw her bathing in the river Tiber, and gave her my hand and helped her out of the river. When I saw her beauty I reflected in my heart and said: I should be happy if I had a wife of such beauty and character. This was my only thought, and no other, no, not one.

After some time, while I was[*] going to Cumae, and glorifying the creation of God, for its greatness and splendour and might, as I walked along I became sleepy. And a spirit seized me and took me away through a certain pathless district, through which a man could not walk, but the ground was precipitous and broken up by the

streams of water. So I crossed that river, and came to the level ground and knelt down and began to pray to the Lord and to confess my sins.

Now while I was praying the Heaven was opened, and I[*] saw that woman whom I had desired greeting me out of the Heaven and saying: Hail, Hermas.

And I looked at her, and said to her: Lady, what are you doing here? and she answered me: I was taken up to accuse you of your sins before the Lord.

I 5 w 486
reflected 1 w 495
in 10 w 497
my 2 w 499
heart 1 w 504
and 9 w 507
said 1 w 511
I 6 w 513
should 1 w 519
be 4 w 521
happy 1 w 526
if 1 w 528
I 7 w 529

God 1 w 686
for 1 w 690
its 1 w 693
greatness 1 w 702
and 13 w 705
splendour 1 w 714
and 14 w 717
might 1 w 722
as 9 w 725
I 9 w 726
walked 1 w 732
along 1 w 737
I 10 w 738
became 1 w 744
sleepy 1 w 750
And 1 w 754
a 80 w 755
spirit 1 w 761
seized 1 w 767
me 13 w 769
and 15 w 772
took 1 w 776
me 14 w 778
away 1 w 782
through 1 w 789
a 84 w 790
certain 2 w 797
pathless 1 w 805
district 1 w 813
through 2 w 821

ground 2 w 943
and 18 w 946
knelt 1 w 951

and 19 w 958
began 2 w 963

and 22 w 1127
saying 1 w 1133
Hail 1 w 1138
Hermas 4 w 1145
And 2 w 1149
I 15 w 1150
looked 1 w 1156
