They have accused her even of being a Christian; but that is not possible; a domestic tribunal cleared her of the charge.

They say that Christians not only worship an ass's head, but are enemies of the human race, and permit the foulest crimes.

Pomponia cannot be a Christian, as her virtue is known, and an enemy of the human race could not treat slaves as she does." "In no house are they treated as at Aulus's," interrupted Vinicius.
"Ah! Pomponia mentioned to me some god, who must be one powerful and merciful.

Where she has put away all the others is her affair; it is enough that that Logos of hers cannot be very mighty, or rather he must be a very weak god, since he has had only two adherents,--Pomponia and Lygia,--and Ursus in addition.

It must be that there are more of those adherents, and that they assisted Lygia." "That faith commands forgiveness," said Vinicius.
