Delata ad insulam Pontias, quam clarissimae memoriae quondam feminarum sub Domitiano principe pro confessione nominis Christiani Flauiae Domitillae nobilitauit exilium, uidensque cellulas, in quibus illa longum martyrium duxerat, sumptis alis Hierosolymam, sancta loca uidere cupiebat.
'She was ferried to the island of Ponza, which Flavia Domitilla, one of the women of senatorial rank who lived during Domitian's reign, ennobled by being exiled there for professing the Christian faith. After visiting the cells in which this woman had lived out her prolonged martyrdom, Paula sprouted wings and longed to set eyes on Jerusalem and the Holy Places.'
