“Mes bien-aimés, Protonice, la femme du césar Claude, celui que le césar Tibère avait fait second dans l’Empire quand il alla combattre les Espagnols qui s’étaient révoltés contre lui, cette femme, alors que le chef des apôtres Simon était à Rome, vit les prodiges et les miracles qu’il avait faits au nom du Christ et elle renia le paganisme des idoles.” 1

“ܘܝܥܩܘܒ ܐܚܘܗܝ ܕܡܪܢ ܪܝܫ ܦܐܛܪܝܪܟܐ ܕܐܘܪܫܠܡ ܗܘ ܚܙܐ ܒܥܝ̈ܢܘܗܝ ܠܗܢܐ ܣܘܥܪܢܐ. ܘܗܘ ܟܬܒܗ ܘܫܕܪܗ ܠܘܬ ܟܠܗܘܢ ܫܠܝ̈ܚܐ ܚܒܪ̈ܘܗܝ. ܘܐܦ ܗܢܘܢ ܫܠܝ̈ܚܐ ܟܬܒܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܘܡܘܕܥܝܢ ܠܝܥܩܘܒ ܬܕܡܪ̈ܬܐ ܕܣܿܥܪ ܗܘܐ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܒܐܝ̈ܕܝܗܘܢ. ܘܡܬܩܪ̈ܝܢ ܗܘ̈ܝ ܩܕܡ ܒܢ̈ܝ ܥܕܬܐ. ܕܠܗ ܫܘܒܚܐ ܘܥܠܝܢ ܪ̈ܚܡܘܗܝ ܐܡܝܢ.” 1

“Et Jacques, le frère de notre Seigneur, patriarche de Jérusalem, vit de ses yeux cette action, et il l’écrivit et l’envoya à tous les apôtres ses collègues. Et les apôtres eux aussi écrivirent et firent savoir à Jacques les miracles que le Christ accomplissait par leurs mains et ils furent lus devant tous les fils de l’Église. À lui la gloire et sur nous sa miséricorde. Amen.” 1
