Pilgrimage in the Holy Land
St John Phocas, tr. Stewart, 1889
Chapter 18
Opposite the aforesaid monastery, more towards the right-hand, in the depths of the wilderness of Jordan,1 is the monastery of Saint Euthymius the Great,2 which also is fortified with towers and great ramparts. In the midst of this stands a church which, like the other, has a round roof: beneath it is a grotto, and in the midst of the grotto is the tomb of Euthymius the Great, which is like the monument of the inspired Saba, being covered like it with white marble. Herein also are buried the remains of the holy fathers Pasarion and Domitian.
