Inde passus mille locus 3 est, cui nomen Sechar, unde descendit mulier Samaritana ad eundem locum, ubi Iacob puteum 4 fodit, ut de eo aquam impleret, et dominus noster Iesus Christus 5 cum ea locutus est; ubi sunt et Wess. arbores platani, quas plantavit Iacob, et balneus, qui de eo 588, 6 puteo lavatur. 7 Inde milia XXVIII euntibus Hie 8 rusalem in parte sinistra est villa, quae dicitur Bethar. 9 Inde passus mille est locus, ubi Iacob, cum iret in Mesopotamia, 10 addormivit, et ibi est arbor amigdala, et vidit visum et ange 11 lus cum eo luctatus est. Ibi fuit rex Hieroboam, ad quem missus fuit propheta, ut converteretur 589, 1 ad deum excelsum; et iussum fuerat prophetae, ne cum pseudo 2 prophetam, quem secum rex habebat, manducaret, et quia seductus est a pseudopropheta 3 et cum eo manducavit rediens, occurrit prophetae leo in via et occidit eum. 4 Inde Hierusalem mil.

Wess. 586, 3 civitas Maximianopoli, miles XVIII 4 civitas Isdradela, miles X 5 there sat Ahab the king and Elijah prophesied; 6 there is the plain, where David killed Goliath 7 civitas Scithopoli, miles XII 587, 1 Aser, where the villa of Job was, miles XVI 2 civitas Neapoli, miles XV 3 There is Mount Agazaren; there the Samaritans say Abraham offered 4 sacrifice, and one ascends to the top of the mountain by the number of steps 1,300. Thence at the foot 5 of that mountain is a place, whose name is Sechim. There is the monu 588, 1 ment, where Joseph was placed in the villa, which his father Jacob gave him. Thence also was taken 2 Dina, daughter of Jacob, by the sons of the Amorrites. Thence a thousand paces away a place 3 is, whose name is Sechar, whence the Samaritan woman descended to that place, where Jacob dug the well, 4 to draw water from it, and our Lord Jesus Christ 5 spoke with her; where there are also the Wess. plane trees, which Jacob planted, and the bath, which is washed from that 588, 6 well. 7 Thence 28 miles as you go to Jeru 8 salem, on the left side is a villa, which is called Bethar. 9 Thence a thousand paces away is the place where Jacob, when he was going to Mesopotamia, 10 fell asleep, and there is an almond tree, and he saw a vision and an ange 11 l wrestled with him. There was king Jeroboam, to whom the prophet was sent, that he might be turned 589, 1 to the most high God; and the prophet had been ordered not to eat with the false 2 prophet, whom the king had with him, and because he was led astray by the false prophet 3 and ate with him as he was returning, a lion met the prophet on the road and killed him. 4 Thence to Hierusalem, miles XII 5 the total from Caesarea Palaestina as far as Hierusalem is 116 miles, 6 mansiones IIII, mutations IIII.

586, 3 or XVII 4 Esdraela 587, 3 Argarizin 4 Neapolis is 572 m above sea, the mountain is 868 m. The steps, as coins show (Cat. Brit. Mus. Palestine ed. Hill, 1914: Neapolis n. 21. 22. 25. 90 pl. V 14—16. VI 12. XXXIX 7. 8. 12; cf. p. XXIX), ascended in an almost straight line from a portico built at the foot of the mountain to the very summit. Therefore, since 300 are by no means sufficient, with 2P one must read 1,300. The height of the steps was about 23 cm. 588, 7 approximately XXIIII 8 Bethel 589, 5 Adding the figures at 585, 8. 588, 2. 9, they are approximately CXII or CXI. The transmitted figures give CXVI or CXV. Therefore, the total CXVI was calculated after the figure at 588, 7 was slightly corrupted. 6 Setting aside Hierosolyma and besides 585, 8. 588, 2 sq. 9 also 587, 1. 588, 8, the count of mansiones and mutations is correct.
