1And I, Zosimus, besought again the blessed ones to make entreaty for me to the Lord that the trees might receive me to take me across.
2And they all cried to the Lord and said, O God that hast shown us thy marvels and hast made thy servant Zosimus to come to us out of the world of vanity, set him again in his own place with peace, and command these trees to bow down and take up thy servant and set him on the further side.
3And as they finished their prayer, the trees straightway bent down before them, and received me as on the second day before; and being set on the other side of the river I cried with a loud voice and said, Men of righteousness, who are brothers of the holy angels, grant me your prayer in peace, for behold I depart from you.
4And making prayer they all cried out, saying, Peace, peace be with you, brother.
