Paragraph:

Translation:
Nowadays Siloam is included within the city, since the Empress Eudoxia herself added walls to the city. She also built the basilica and tomb of Saint Stephen', and her own tomb is next to Saint Stephen's, with twenty paces between the two. Saint Stephen's resting-place is outside the gate, and a bowshot from the road which leads westwards down to Joppa, Caesarea Palaestinae, and Diospolis (which in ancient times was called Azotus) - - -
