Ingressa sepulchrum Lazari Mariae et Marthae vidit hospitium et Bethfage, villam sacerdotalium maxillarum, et locum in quo pullus lasciviens gentium domini frena suscepit apostologrumque stratus vestibus mollia terga praebuit ad sedendum.
'She [Paula] entered Lazarus' tomb, saw the home of Mary and Martha as well as Bethphage, the "town of priestly jaws", and the place where the frisky foal, symbolizing the Gentiles, was fitted with the Lord's bridle and was draped with the apostles' garments and offered its soft back as a seat.'
