Translation:
You go on from (the Holy Anastasis) to the very large basilica of Holy Sion, containing the column at which the Lord Jesus was struck. There is a mark where he held onto it, like an impression on wax. From that you go to the sacrarium. It contains the Stone with which St Stephen was stoned. In the centre of the basilica is the crown of thorns which they gave the Lord. There too is the Upper Room where the Lord taught his disciples when he had had the supper. There too is the Rod enclosed in a silver column.
(transl. Wilkinson)
