Quo Vadis

CHAPTER XVII
11/15

But to-morrow, in Ostrianum, brethren and sisters will assemble in the night to the last soul, because a great apostle of Christ has come, who will teach them, and the brethren will point out to me Glaucus." "In Ostrianum ?" inquired Chilo.

"But that is outside the city gates! The brethren and all the sisters,--at night?
Outside the city gates, in Ostrianum ?" "Yes, father; that is our cemetery, between the Viae Salaria and Nomentana.

Is it not known to thee that the Great Apostle will teach there ?" "I have been two days from home, hence I did not receive his epistle; and I do not know where Ostrianum is, for I came here not long since from Corinth, where I govern a Christian community.

But it is as thou sayest,--there thou wilt find Glaucus among the brethren, and thou wilt slay him on the way home to the city.

For this all thy sins will be forgiven.
