Touching such things as we asked Arculf with stricter sanctions, especially about the tomb of the Lord and the church, being framed together on the text, of which the to me in the table of the form of wax salve, he, she shadowed her. , Which is indeed a very great and wonderful the whole Church and one of stone, out of every part of the spherical in shape arranged, with the three from the foundations in rising up the walls, between the every one of the other side of the wall, and [Al. The proposal was submitted], having a space of the way; three things also altars at three different points of the middle wall, fashioned by a craftsman. A round shape, and the summit of this the church of the above-mentioned, having the altars, one to the south, looking back at the other in the north, and the third a westerly direction, 12 of stone, of marvelous height, support of the column.
