Translation:
THE LANCE WITH WHICH THE SOLDIER PIERCED THE LORD'S SIDE.
Moreover Arculf saw the Lance with which the Soldier struck the Lord's side as he was hanging on the Cross. This Lance is kept in the Basilica of Constantine, in the portico; its shaft has been divided in two, and it has been set in a wooden cross. The whole city of Jerusalem makes pilgrimage also to this, in order to kiss and venerate it.
