Dein Antipatrida, semirutum oppidulum, quod patris ex nomine Herodes uocauerat, et Lyddam uersam in Diospolim, dorcadis atque Aeneae resurrectione ac sanitate inclitam, haut procul ab ea Arimathiam, uiculum Ioseph, qui dominum sepeliuit, et Nob, urbem quondam sacerdotum, nunc tumulos occisorum, Ioppen quoque, fugientis portum Ionae et - ut aliquid perstringam de fabulis poetarum - religatae ad saxum Andromedae spectatricem, repetitoque itinere Nicopolim, quae prius Emmaus uocabatur, apud quam in fractione panis cognitus dominus Cleopae domum in ecclesiam dedicauit.
'Then she visited Antipatris, a little town partly in ruins which Herod had named after his father, and then she went to Lydda, whose name had been changed to Diospolis, a place renowned for the resurrection of Dorcas and the healing of Aeneas. She visited nearby Arimathea, the village of Joseph, who buried the Lord, and Nob, once a city of priest but now the site of the tombs in which their slain bodies lie. She also saw Joppa, the seaport from which Jonah had taken flight and which – if I may just briefly mention a figment of the poets – witnessed Andromeda being bound to a rock. Doubling back on the road she came to Nicopolis, which used to be called Emmaus and where the Lord, recognized for who he was after the breaking of bread, consecrated Cleopas' house as a church.'
