Thus now by the foreknowledge of Christ, the prefect sent us away with supplies for the voyage, sending also his son with us.
2And when we had sailed twenty days, Polyxena was greatly exhausted, and we touched at a certain island for the sake of rest.
3And behold, certain fierce and hardened men, coming down to us and seeing Polyxena, prepared for battle; but by the grace of Christ our men defended Polyxena and vanquished them, although the strangers were more numerous and more powerful.
4Polyxena therefore fearing again to become a captive threw herself into the sea; but the pilot dragged her out, having suffered no harm.
5Then we embarked in the vessel and fled, for the places were rough and wooded, and we were afraid to remain, and in twelve days we arrived in Spain, by the grace of God.
