1. In the Roman world , years were named after the
consuls, high rank officials whose office lasted one year exactly,
from January to December. Flavius Dalmatius (half-brother of
Emperor Constantine) and Domitius Zenophilus were joint
consuls in the year 333 A.D. The pilgrim says he departed from
Calcedon on the 30th of May, and returned to Constantinople on
the 25th of December; thus we can infer that he was in
Jerusalem in the months of August or September of the year 333
A.D.

The Text: 6. From Caesarea to Jerusalem

Twenty-eight miles from thence on the left hand, as one
goes towards Jerusalem, is a village (villa) named Bethar(Bethel,
Beitin). A mile from thence is the place where Jacob slept when
he was journeying into Mesopotamia ( Gen 28:10-22), and here
is the almond tree; here Jacob saw the vision and the angel
wrestled with him ( Gen 32:22-32) [ftn.4]. Here was King
Jeroboam when the prophet was sent to him, that he should turn
himself to the [589] Most High God; and the prophet was
ordered not to eat bread with the false prophet whom the king
had with him, and because he was beguiled by the false prophet
and ate bread with him, as he was returning a lion fell upon the
prophet on the way and slew him ( 1Kings 13:1-34).
Thence to Jerusalem - miles xii.
Footnotes
1. The site of the battle in which Goliath was killed by
David is placed by the biblical text in the valley of Elah, west of
Betlehem, in the territory of the tribe of Judah (1 Sam 17:1-2).
On the Gilboa ridge another battle took place in which Saul died
(1 Sam 31:1-6) but a Goliath fountain (Ayn Jalud) is found near
Jezreel.

that you would think they were impressed upon wax. There are
two statues of Hadrian, and not far from the statues there is
aperforated stone [pct.21], to which the Jews come every year
and anoint it, bewail themselves with groans, rend their
garments, and so depart. There also is the house of Hezekiah
King of Judah.

1. In the modern Revised Standard Version (John 5,2) the
pool is said to be called in Hebrew "Beth-zatha", and in the King
James Version the same pool is called Bethesda. Our pilgrim call
it Bethsaida in accordance with theVetus Latina Version, the first
latin translation of the Bible.

Christ ( Matt 26,36-50); on the [595] right is a palm-tree,
branches of which the children carried off and strewed in the
way when Christ came ( Matt 31:8). Not far from thence, about
a stone's-throw, are two notable tombs of wondrous beauty; in
the one, which is a true monolith, lies Isaiah the prophet, and in
the other Hezekiah, King of the Jews.
