The [[Itinerarium Burdigalense]] speaks of Golgotha in 333: "... On the left hand is the little hill of Golgotha where the Lord was crucified. About a stone's throw from thence<!--!!--> is a vault (crypta) wherein His body was laid, and rose again on the third day. There, at present, by the command of the Emperor Constantine, has been built a basilica, that is to say, a church of wondrous beauty",<!-- Latin original: A sinistra autem parte est monticulus golgotha, ubi dominus crucifixus est. Inde quasi ad lapidem missum est cripta, ubi corpus eius positum fuit et tertia die resurrexit; ibidem modo iussu constantini imperatoris basilica facta est, id est dominicum, mirae pulchritudinis habens.  --><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.christusrex.org/www1/ofm/pilgr/bord/10Bord07bJerus.html#Golgotha|title=Bordeaux Pilgrim – Text 7b: Jerusalem (second part)|access-date=2011-10-25|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160513215942/http://www.christusrex.org/www1/ofm/pilgr/bord/10Bord07bJerus.html#Golgotha|archive-date=2016-05-13|url-status=dead}}</ref> [[Cyril of Jerusalem]], a distinguished theologian of the early Church, and eyewitness to the early days of Constantine's edifice, speaks of Golgotha in eight separate passages, sometimes as near to the church where he and his listeners assembled:<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.pravoslavnaolomouc.cz/ZIP/OTCO/PNC/PN7.PDF |title=St. Cyril of Jerusalem| page =51, note 313 |access-date=2007-06-12 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070616164151/http://www.pravoslavnaolomouc.cz/ZIP/OTCO/PNC/PN7.PDF |archive-date=2007-06-16 |url-status=dead }}</ref> "Golgotha, the holy hill standing above us here, bears witness to our sight: the Holy Sepulchre bears witness, and the stone which lies there to this day."<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.pravoslavnaolomouc.cz/ZIP/OTCO/PNC/PN7.PDF |title=Cyril, Catechetical Lectures, year 347, lecture X|page=160, note 1221 |access-date=2007-06-12 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070616164151/http://www.pravoslavnaolomouc.cz/ZIP/OTCO/PNC/PN7.PDF |archive-date=2007-06-16 |url-status=dead }}</ref> And just in such a way the [[Egeria (pilgrim)|pilgrim Egeria]] often reported in 383: "… the church, built by Constantine, which is situated in Golgotha…"<ref>[http://www.ccel.org/m/mcclure/etheria/etheria.htm ''Iteneraria Egeriae''], ccel.org.
