Hence to Bethasora <Bethsur> it is 14 miles; here is the spring where Philip baptized the eunuch <Acts 8:36–38>. Hence it is 9 miles to the Terebinth where Abraham lived and dug a well beneath the terebinth tree, and spoke and partook of food with the angels <Gen. 18:1–8>; a basilica of wondrous beauty has been built there by command of Constantine.
