Paragraph:
2
Translation:
And going from (the basilica of Constantine) into Golgotha there is a great court where the Lord was crucified. There is a silver screen round this Mount, and a hard kind of rock has been left on the Mount. It has silver doors where the Cross of the Lord has been displayed, all adorned with gold and gems and a dome open above. Much gold and silver adorn the screen. And the plate is there on which was carried the head of St John. There is the horn with which David was anointed, and Solomon. And there too is the Ring with which Solomon sealed the demons. It is made of electrum. There Adam was formed. There Abraham offered Isaac his son as a sacrifice in the very place where the Lord was crucified.
(transl. Wilkinson)
