Greek text · Dindorf 4:85–86

καὶ ἐκ τῶν Πέτρου δὲ λέξεων ἐν ὁπόσαις καὶ οὗτος ἐπαρχίαις τοὺς ἐκ περιτομῆς τὸν Χριστὸν εὐαγγελιζόμενος τὸν τῆς καινῆς διαθήκης παρεδίδου λόγον σαφὲς ἂν εἴη ἀφʼ ἧς εἰρήκαμεν ὁμολογουμένης αὐτοῦ ἐπιστολῆς, ἐν ἡ τοῖς ἐξ Ἑβραίων οὖσιν ἐν δια- σπορᾷ Πόντου καὶ Γαλατίας Καππαδοκίας τε καὶ Ἀσίας καὶ Βιθυνίας γράφει.

English · Claude translation

And from Peter's words too it would be clear in how many provinces he preached Christ to those of the circumcision and delivered the word of the new covenant, from the letter we have said is acknowledged as his, in which he writes to those of the Hebrews in the Dispersion of Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia.
