	''In [the Abbey of Saint Anthony] resides a hundred brothers who lead a life of sanctity and excellence, because never do they drink wine or eat meat and fish, nor do they wear linen clothes. And ~~truthfully~~, they give testimony to their goodness because they treat pilgrims very well and they willingly give them their food that they find without asking for anything in return. These brothers, of which we speak, are Jacobite Christians because they are circumcised and then baptised like us. They sing and celebrate their service very saintly in their language. They do not celebrate the offices of our Lord according to our rites and those of the Greeks, but they have other rites similar to those Christians in the land of Prester John. That is what we have been told.''

			Dedans cestedicte abbaye sont residens et demorans cent frères et plus, lesquelz mainent tressaincte et tresbonne vie, car en nul temps ilz ne boivent vin ne jamais ne menguent char ne poisson, ne vestent draps de lin. Et en vérité ilz monstrent bien qu'ilz soient bonnes gens, car ilz font tresbonne chère aux pèlerins et leur donnent ce qu'ilz pevent recouvrer de vivres tresvoulentiers et sens riens demander. Iceulx frères dont nous parlons, sont chrestiens Yaccoppîtes car ilz sont circoncis et puis sont baptisés come nous, et cliantent et font le service tresdevostement en leur langage; et ne font point le service de Nostre Seigneur selon nostre usage ne selon Tusage des Grecs, mais ont autre usage différant auques semblable aux chrestiens de la terre Prestre Jehan, si comme les aucuns nous distrent.
