“باورشليم في حي باب العمود، دير قديم ذكر سنة 1000 وكان كرسي المطرانية وحوى عام 1235 سبعين راهبا وتخرج فيه اربعة مطارنة، اغتصبه قوم من المسلمين بنفوذ المماليك في القرن الرابع عشر ثم جعلوه مدرسة لهم باسم الميمونية، بقيت منه اطلال ظاهرة الى اواسط القرن الماضي ثم عفا اثره.” 3
“in the Bab al-ʿĀmūd district of Jerusalem, is an old monastery, first mentioned in history in 1000. It was the seat of the metropolitan of Jerusalem. In 1235, it housed seventy monks. Four metropolitans graduated from it. In the fourteenth century it was usurped by a group of Muslims, with the help of the Mamluks; they then converted it into a school called al-Maymūna. Parts of its ruins were still to be seen until the last century, but they no longer exist.” 4
