| 22 | And the whole city and the region thereof believed on Our Lord Jesus the Christ, and they worshiped |
| 23 | Him all of them, from the least unto the greatest. And they sent God-fearing men up upon the mountain |

| 26 | E. The Preaching of Bartholomew in the City of the Oasis. |
| 27 | [Bartholomew is appointed to preach in the Oasis. He sets out accompanied by Peter and finds a magnate of the city |
| 28 | about to return thither with his camels. Hearing that they are Christians, the man refuses to aid them, relating the un- |
| 29 | happy plight of a married friend whose wife had been induced to lead an ascetic life.] |

| 32 | if my wife will not return to me, I will not cease to sit in ashes until | die.” Wherefore I also will not suffer you |
| 33 | to enter into my city or my house (?), flest perchance ye preach chastity, and my wife hear and withdraw |
| 34 | herself from my bed-chamber.” |
| 35 | When the Apostles heard these words they turned back, being sorrowful. “Bartholomew said unto Peter: |
| 36 | “What shall we do, that they may bring us to the city ? Give us counsel how we shall act.” Peter said unto |
| 37 | Bartholomew: “1 am willing indeed to give thee counsel; but perchance thou mayest say: ⲓ have endured |
| 38 | many sufferings through the counsel of my father Peter.” Nay, thou art the disposer (in this matter); and |
| 39 | I will not leave thee at all until [ bring thee into the city according to the will of Our Lord Jesus the Christ, |
| 40 | the Salvation of all men.” And Bartholomew said unto Peter: “Arise, let us gird ourselves, and change our |
| 41 | raiment and our appearance, and get ahead of *this archon and his beasts, and say unto him: ‘Thou wilt |
| 42 | do us a kindness if thou wilt bring us into the city with thee.” And if he ask us, ‘For what purpose are ye |
| 43 | going into the city, to buy or to sell what ?,” thou shalt say unto him: ‘We are going into this city that 1 |
| 44 | may sell there this little slave of mine.” And if he say unto thee, ‘What is his craft ?* thou shalt say unto |
| 45 | him, ‘He is a vine-dresser.” And when | am come into the city, that which God shall put into my mouth, |
| 46 | I will speak; and that which He shall say unto me I will do.” {Peter said unto him: “This plan is suitable.” |

| 100 | “Then they changed their raiment and took on the appearance of husbandmen and appeared before the |
| 101 | archon and his beasts. Peter said unto him: “Hail, O Master of camels!” And the man answered: “Hail.” |
| 102 | Peter said unto him: “Thou wilt be able to do us a kindness, if thou wilt take us into the city with thee.” |
| 103 | {The archon said unto him: “For what purpose goest thou into this city, to buy or to sell what ⲣ Peter |
| 104 | said unto him: “I wish to go into the city to sell this slave of mine.” Straightway the archon descended, |
| 105 | making his camels kneel and said : **“ Today is a great day for me. For, lo, for many days have I been abroad |
| 106 | with my beasts and my servants seeking for a slave to purchase, but have not found one. Behold, now I |
| 107 | have found what | sought.” And the archon said unto Peter: “Tell me what is his craft, that | may buy him |
| 108 | and give thee his price.” Peter said unto him: “(He is) a vine-dresser; and the vines which are blighted |
| 109 | he makes to flourish again.” The archon said unto him: “ It is for a skilled worker of this kind that I am seeking; |
| 110 | for I have many vines, and | wish to put him in charge of them all.” |
| 111 | Then they agreed *as to his price—thirty staters. And Peter took them and led Bartholomew aside and |
| 112 | gave them to him, saying: “Take thy price and keep it by thee, that if thou shouldest find a man afflicted, |
| 113 | thou mayest give him (alms) from thy price.” |
| 114 | The archon said to Peter, not knowing that he was Peter: “ Behold, thou hast received the price of thy slave; |
| 115 | ϯⲥⲟⲡⲓⲉ now, let me take thee up and bring thee into the city, that | may make a feast for thee with much |
| 116 | wine.” Peter said unto him: “ Well done, my brother ! The favor which thou wouldest bestow on me, bestow |
| 117 | it on this slave, and do not “afflict him, but deal kindly with him ; for thou wilt find him exceeding profitable.” |
| 118 | Now when Peter had thus spoken unto the archon, he began to speak great mysteries unto Bartholomew: |
| 119 | and he turned back to go on his (own) way. , |
| 120 | The archon also journeyed with Bartholomew and the beasts that they might go unto the city. But as |
| 121 | the men were traveling in the desert with the camels, they went astray in the desert: and the water they |
| 122 | had with them failed. And the men and the beasts suffered greatly : the camels dropped and died. *And the |
| 123 | men wept, saying: “Woe unto us! What is the thing which hath befallen us ? Perchance this man was no |
| 124 | good servant when he was in his own country, and (therefore) his master sold him unto us: we have bought |
