73 Καὶ γενομένων ἡμῶν ἐν τῷ τόπῳ κελεύσει τοῦ διδασκάλου αἱ θύραι ἠνοίχθησαν, καὶ περὶ τὸν τάφον τῆς Δρουσιανῆς εἶδόν τινα νεανίσκον εὔμορφον μειδιῶντα· ὃν ἰδὼν
ὁ Ἰνάννης κράξας ἔφη· Καὶ ὧδε φθάνεις ὑμᾶς ὁ καλός; τίνος χάριν ἄραι Καὶ ἀκούει φωνῆς λεγούσης αὐτῷ· Δρουσιανῆς ἕνεκεν, ἣν σὺ μέλλεις ἀναστήσειν—παρὰ βραχὺ γὰρ ἤμην εὑρὼν αὐτήν — καὶ τὸ πλησίον ἀπονεύσαντος τοῦ τάφου αὐτῆς. Καὶ εἰπὼν ταῦτα ὁ καλὸς πρὸς τὸν Ἰωάννην εἰς οὐρανοὺς ἀνῄει ¹
βλεπόντων πάντων ὑμῶν. ὁ δὲ Ἰωάννης ἐπιστραφεὶς εἰς τὸ ἕτερον μέρος τοῦ μνήματος ὁρᾷ νεανίσκον πρῶτον τῶν Ἐφεσίων Καλλίμαχον —τοῦτο γὰρ ἐκαλεῖτο— καὶ ἐπικαθεύδοντα αὐτῷ ὄφιν παμμεγέθη, καὶ τὸν ἐπίτροπον Ἀνδρονίκου, Φουρτουνᾶτον λεγόμενον, τεθνεῶτα. καὶ ἀμφοτέρους ἰδὼν ἠπορημένος εἱστήκει
λέγων πρὸς τοὺς ἀδελφούς· Τί βούλεται τὸ τοιοῦτον θέαμα; ἢ διὰ τί μοι ὁ κύριος οὐκ ἐνεφάνισε τὰ ὧδε πραχθέντα, μηδέποτέ μου ἀμελήσαντος;

[73] And when we were at the place, at the commandment of the master, the doors were opened, and we saw by the tomb of Drusiana a beautiful youth, smiling: and John, when he saw him, cried out and said: Art thou come before us hither too, beautiful one? and for what cause? And we heard a voice saying to him: For Drusiana’s sake, whom thou art to raise up—for I was within a little of finding her ⟨shamed›—and for his sake that lieth dead beside her tomb. And when the beautiful one had said this unto John he went up into the heavens in the sight of us all. And John, turning to the other side of the sepulchre, saw a young man—even Callimachus, one of the chief of the Ephesians—and a huge serpent sleeping upon him, and the steward of Andronicus, Fortunatus by name, lying dead. And at the sight of the two he stood perplexed, saying to the brethren: What meaneth such a sight? or wherefore hath not the Lord declared unto me what was done here, he who hath never neglected me?
