Beryto, Romana colonia et antiqua urbe Sidone derelicta in Sareptae litore Heliae est ingressa turriculam, in qua adorato domino saluatore per harenas Tyri, in quibus Paulus genua fixerat, peruenit Accho, quae nunc Ptolomais dicitur, et per campos Mageddo Iosiae necis conscios intrauit terram Phylistiim.
'After leaving the colony of Berytus and the ancient city of Sidon she visited Elijah's little tower on Sarepta's shore and worshipped her Lord and Savior there. Then she went through the sands of Tyre, in which Paul had knelt, and arrived at Acco, which is now called Ptolomais. Passing through the plains of Megiddo, which formerly had witnessed the murder of Josiah, she entered the territory of the Philistines.
