 | | These unworthy priests at last took up arms against each other, and blood flowed freely on several occasions in the streets of Jerusalem (2 Maccabees 4). |
 | | These were, according to the common opinion, the houses of the aboriginal inhabitants. |
 | | Following this street, we pass, on the left, the first courses of the facade of Constantine's Basilica, which was completely discovered in 1907 and, on the right, 230 feet from this structure, the Khan ez Zeit, which is built in a Jewish cistern partly hewn out of the rock. |
