Paragraph:
XII, 16-22
Translation:
One goes half a day's journey to the west of Galilee to the spring where the people were summoned, and Christ gave the five loaves, and the spring is half-way along the Lake of Gennesaret or Sea of Tiberias. And to the west of this spring there is a monastery. In that place Christ spoke to the Samaritan woman.

Summary:
Mention of a monastery near the spring where Christ fed the five thousand, from an 8th cent. guidebook for pilgrims.
According to Wilkinson, p. 346, “The introduction of the Samaritan woman is evidently a mistake: perhaps the writer intended to speak of the woman with the issue of blood as at Epiph. X, 6-7”.
