Greek text · Dindorf 4:248

καὶ ἄλλοι δὲ πλείους τῶν κατʼ Ἀλεξάνδρειαν ἀθρόως τῷ Χριστοῦ λόγῳ προσελθεῖν κατὰ τοὺς δεδηλωμένους ἱστοροῦνται, ὡς δὴ καθʼ ὕπνους τῆς Ποταμιαίνης ἐπιφανείσης καὶ προσκεκλημένης αὐτούς. ἀλλὰ ταῦτα μὲν ὧδε ἐχέτω.

English · Claude translation

Many others at Alexandria are recorded to have come over to the word of Christ all at once in the times mentioned, because Potamiaena appeared to them in their sleep and summoned them. But let this suffice.
