1. TRANSLATION (based on Leloir’s French translation)

About the apostles: which were married and which (were) not.

The name of the wife of the apostle Peter was Gogia; his sons <were called> Joel and Yovnana, and <his> only daughter Sabistha. James and John <remained> virgins. Andrew’s wife was <named> Antoli; <they had> a daughter, Mary. Paul’s wife was <named> Mariadon and <their> sons Saul and Tikos. Philip’s wife <was called> Thēokti and <his> son Theophilus. Thomas <remained> a virgin. Bartholomew’s wife <was> Thomosia; <they had> a son, Bartimios. Matthew’s wife was <named> Sktania; <they had> a son, Matathia, James remained a virgin. Simon’s wife <was> Mari; <they had> a son, Oserki. The wife of Judas of James <was called> Thēopistis; <they had> a son, Kalistratos.

Such are the disciples of Christ. Furthermore, it is well known that Jesus baptized with his own hands only Peter; Peter baptized his brother Andrew; Andrew baptized James and John, the sons of Zebedee; and John and James the other apostles. Peter and John baptized the most holy Mother of God.
