First recension
In qua [Neapolis] est puteus, ubi dominus a samaritana aquam petiit. Ibi facta est basilica sancti Iohannis; et ipse puteus est ante cancellos altaris et siclus ibi est, de quo dicitur, quia ipse est, de quo bibit Dominus, et multae aegritudines ibi sanantur.
'In it [Neapolis] is the well where the Lord asked the Samaritan woman for water, and a basilica of saint John has been built there. This well is in front of the altar-screen, and they have a bucket there which, it is said, is the very one from which the Lord drank. Many diseases are cured there.'
