First recension
De Sidona uenimus Sarapta, quae ciuitas modica christiana nimis est, in qua est cenaculus ille, qui factus fuerat Heliae, et ipsum lectum ibi est, ubi recubuit, et alueus marmoreus, ubi illa uidua infermentauit. In quo loco multa offeruntur; multae uirtutes illic fient.
'From Sidon we came to Sarepta, a small city full of Christians. The chamber which was made for Elijah is there, and in it is the very bed on which he lay, and the marble vessel in which the widow made her bread. Many offerings are made there, and many miracles take place.'
The second recension follows the text of the first without important modifications.
