The Shepherd of Hermas

He who brought me up sold me to a certain[*](Hermas and Rhoda) Rhoda at Rome. After many years I made her acquaintance again, and began to love her as a sister.[*](As it stands this is hardly intelligible: presumably the meaning is that Hermas was born a slave, and that his owner sold him to Rhoda. It is implied that he then passed out of her possession, and later on made her acquaintance again. The alternative is that ἀνεγνωρισἀμην merely means came to know her properly. )
