In parte autem australi ciuitatis iuxta uiam Ostensem Paulus apostolus corpore pausat, et Timotheus episcopus et martyr, de quo meminit liber Siluestri, ibidem dormit. Et ante frontem eiusdem basilicae oratorium est Stephani martyris; lapis ibi, quo lapidatus est Stephanus, super altare est positus.
Inde haud procul in meridiem monasterium est aquae Saluiae, ubi caput sancti Anastasi est et locus ubi decollatus est Paulus.
Prope quoque basilicae Pauli ecclesia sanctae Teclae est ubi ipsa corpore iacet.
Et non longe inde ecclesia sancti Felicis est ubi ipse dormit, cum quo quando ad caelum migrauit, pariter properabat Adauctus; et ambo requiescunt in uno loco. Ibi quoque et Nemeseus martyr cum plurimis iacet.
'In the southern part of the city, however, close by the via Ostiensis, the apostle Paul rests in the body, and there too sleeps Timotheus, bishop and martyr, about whom the book of Silvester bears record. And in front of the same basilica is the oratory of Stephen the martyr; there a stone, with which Stephen was stoned, is placed on the altar.
Not far from there to the south is the monastery ad Aquas Salvias, where the head of saint Anastasius is and the place where Paul was beheaded.
Also, close by the basilica of Paul, is the church of saint Thecla where she herself lies in the body.
And not far away is the church of saint Felix where he sleeps; by his side, when he went to the heavens, hurried Adauctus; and both rest in one place. There too lies the martyr Nemeseus with many more.'
