In this paper we will show that for every cut I of any countable nonstandard model $\mathcal {M}$ of
$\mathrm {I}\Sigma _{1}$, each I-small
$\Sigma _{1}$-elementary submodel of
$\mathcal {M}$ is of the form of the set of fixed points of some proper initial self-embedding of
$\mathcal {M}$ iff I is a strong cut of
$\mathcal {M}$. Especially, this feature will provide us with some equivalent conditions with the strongness of the standard cut in a given countable model
$\mathcal {M}$ of
$ \mathrm {I}\Sigma _{1} $. In addition, we will find some criteria for extendability of initial self-embeddings of countable nonstandard models of
$ \mathrm {I}\Sigma _{1} $ to larger models.
