Translation:
Also on the Mount of Olives is a splendid cave with an altar in it, where the Lord used to teach his disciples, and over the cave a large holy church. - - - and not far from that is the place where the Lord prayed, when his sweat became like drops of blood <Luke 22:44>.

Summary:
Mention of the place of Agony, presumably from a passage lost in the MS of It. Eg., as recorded in a guidebook for pilgrims compiled AD 1137.
Wilkinson, pp. 185, 326, suggests that "the place was the rock in the present Church of All Nations at the foot of the Mount of Olives".
