ITINERARIUM BURDIGALENSE

Wess. eversa est, et sola evasit. Ibi fuit 597, 3 civitas Hiericho, cuius muros gyraverunt cum arca testamenti filii Israel et ceciderunt muri. 4 Ex eo non paret nisi locus, ubi fuit arca testamenti et lapides XII, 5 quos filii Israel de Iordane levaverunt. Ibidem Iesus filius Nave 6 circumcidit filios Israel et circumcisiones eorum sepelivit. 7. 8 Item ab Hiericho ad Mare Mor 9 tuum milia novem. Est aqua ipsius valde amarissima, ubi in totum nullius generis piscis est 10 nec aliqua navis, et si qui hominum miserit se, ut natet, ipsa aqua eum versat. 598, 1. 2 Inde ad Iordane, ubi dominus a Iohanne baptizatus est, milia 3 quinque. Ibi est locus super flumen, monticulus in illa ripa, ubi raptus est Helias in caelum. 4 Item ab Hierusalem euntibus Bethleem milia quattuor super 5 strata in parte dextra est monumentum, ubi Rachel posita est, 6 uxor Iacob. Inde milia duo a parte sinistra est Bethleem, ubi natus est dominus Iesus Chris 7 tus; ibi basilica facta est iussu Constantini. Inde non longe est Wess. 598, 8 monumentum Ezechihel, Asaph, Iob et Iesse, David, Salomon, et 9 habet in ipsa cripta ad latus deorsum descendentibus hebraeis litteris scriptum nomina supra scripta. 599, 1. 2 Inde Bethasora milia XIIII, ubi est fons, in quo Philippus eunuchum baptizavit. 3. 4 Inde Terebinto milia VIIII, ubi Abraham habitavit et puteum 5 fodit sub arbore terebintho et cum angelis locutus est et cibum sumpsit; ibi basilica facta est 6 iussu Constantini mirae pulchritudinis. 7 Inde Terebintho Cebron milia II, 8 ubi est memoria per quadrum ex lapidibus mirae pulchritudi 9 nis, in qua positi sunt Abraham, Isaac, Iacob, Sarra, Rebecca et Lia. 600, 1 Item ab Hierusolyma, sic: 2 civitas Nicopoli mil. XXII 3 civitas Lidda mil. X 4 mutatio Antipatrida mil. X 5 mutatio Betthar mil. X 6 civitas Caesarea mil. XVI. 601, 1 Fit omnis summa a Constantinopoli usque Hierusalem

599, 3 fere IIII 7 Hebron 600, 2 fere XVII 3 XII 4—5 XXVIII 601, 1—3 MCLXIIII quia cum summa summarum septem traditarum et partim corruptarum (572, 8. 575, 6. 579, 5. 581, 5. 584, 2. 585, 5. 589, 5) congruit, haud magni pretii

THE BORDEAUX ITINERARY

Wess. was overthrown, and she alone escaped. There was 597, 3 the city Jericho, whose walls the children of Israel marched around with the ark of the covenant and the walls fell. 4 From that time nothing is seen except the place where the ark of the covenant was and the twelve stones, 5 which the children of Israel lifted from the Jordan. There Joshua the son of Nun 6 circumcised the children of Israel and buried their foreskins. 7. 8 Likewise from Jericho to the Dead Sea, 9 nine miles. Its water is very bitter, where there is no fish of any kind at all, 10 nor any ship, and if any man throws himself in to swim, the water itself turns him over. 598, 1. 2 Thence to the Jordan, where the Lord was baptized by John, five miles. 3 There is a place above the river, a little hill on that bank, where Elijah was taken up into heaven. 4 Likewise from Jerusalem, going to Bethlehem, four miles. On the 5 road, on the right side, is the monument, where Rachel is placed, 6 the wife of Jacob. Thence two miles, on the left side, is Bethlehem, where the Lord Jesus Christ was born; 7 there a basilica was made by order of Constantine. Thence not far is Wess. 598, 8 the monument of Ezekiel, Asaph, Job, and Jesse, David, Solomon, and 9 in that crypt itself, at the side as you go down, the names written above are inscribed in Hebrew letters. 599, 1. 2 Thence to Bethasora, 14 miles, where there is the spring, in which Philip baptized the eunuch. 3. 4 Thence to the Terebinth, 9 miles, where Abraham lived and dug the well 5 under the terebinth tree and spoke with the angels and took food; there a basilica was made 6 by order of Constantine, of wondrous beauty. 7 Thence from the Terebinth to Cebron, 2 miles, 8 where there is a square monument of stones, of wondrous beauty, 9 in which are placed Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Sarah, Rebecca, and Leah. 600, 1 Likewise from Hierusolyma, as follows: 2 civitas Nicopoli, miles XXII 3 civitas Lidda, miles X 4 mutatio Antipatrida, miles X 5 mutatio Betthar, miles X 6 civitas Caesarea, miles XVI. 601, 1 The whole total from Constantinopoli as far as Hierusalem is made

599, 3 approximately IIII 7 Hebron 600, 2 approximately XVII 3 XII 4—5 XXVIII 601, 1—3 1,164 miles, because it agrees with the sum of the seven transmitted totals, which are partly corrupt (572, 8. 575, 6. 579, 5. 581, 5. 584, 2. 585, 5. 589, 5), is of little value
