Haram area, was erected by Constantine over the tomb of Christ. We also learn from it that Mount Sion was within the walls of the city, that its northern face was set apart for the dwellings of priests and monks, ' and that its summit was occupied by a church, apparently the Basilica of St. Sion, and the cells of monks. The pinnacle of the temple, Bethesda, Siloam, and the valley of Jehoshaphat are mentioned; and the description of Jerusalem is followed by brief notices of Bethlehem, Jericho, the Jordan, and Hebron.
