* Bethesda.
The supposed remains of the pool of Bethesda are situated on
the east of Jerusalem, contiguous on one side to St. Stephen's
gate, and on the other to the area of the temple. Maundrell
states that, "it is 120; paces long, and forty broad, and at
least eight deep, but void of water. At its west end it
discovers some old arches, now damned up. These some will
have to be porches, in which sat that multitude of lame, halt,
and blind. But it is not likely, for instead of five, there
are but three."
