E00504: The Piacenza Pilgrim records his visit to Ascalon (Palestine), where he saw a well where three Egyptian brothers and martyrs, whom he does not name, were buried (they are presumably *Ares, Promos, and Elijah, three Egyptian martyrs of Ascalon, S00196). Account of an anonymous pilgrim, written in Latin, probably in Placentia (northern Italy), c. 570.

First recension
Ingressi sumus in Ascalona. Ibi est puteus pacis in latitudine maior, in modum theatri factus, in quo usque ad aquam per gradus descenditur. Ibi requiescunt tres fratres martyres aegyptii; propria quidem nomina habent, sed uulgariter aegyptii uocantur.
'We entered Ascalon. There, on the main cross-street, is the Well of Peace. It is built like a theatre, in which one goes down by steps to the water. There rest three brothers, Egyptian martyrs. Each of them had a name of his own, but they are usually called "The Egyptians".'
The second recension follows the text of the first without important modifications.
