Translation:
THE FORM OF THE GREAT CHURCH BUILT ON MOUNT SION, AND THE SITUATION OF THIS MOUNT.
(1) Not far back we referred to Mount Sion. Now a few brief notes are needed on the very large Church which has been built on it. This is a sketch to show what it is like: (2) This is where one can see the rock on which Stephen was stoned and fell asleep outside the city. And outside this great church, which contains places of such note, there is another rock further west, on which the Lord is said to have been scourged. (3) This apostolic Church is constructed of stone, and stands, as has been said above, on a flat site on the summit of Mount Sion.
