Translation:
One Marcianus, priest at the holy Resurrection and superior of holy Sion, made frequent visits to our sainted father Sabas, bringing him many offerings. Carried away by faith, he would toil with his own hands, together with his children Antony and John, in helping those laboring at the building of the sacred place I have just mentioned; so great was the man’s faith. Archbishop Elias came to love him and ordained him bishop of Sebaste, and Antony bishop of the church of Ascalon, while he made John deacon at the holy Resurrection.
