ℹ️ This corpus has no verse-level morphological tagging. Lemmas come mainly from word-level tagging of other books in the same language (not from this verse), falling back to dictionary form-matching for the rest. Rare homographs can still be misread; verify against the original and a specialist lexicon where precision matters.

But since I have come to the mention of this city, I do not think it right to pass over a narrative worthy also of being remembered by those who come after us. For the woman with an issue of blood, who, as we have learned from the sacred Gospels, found at the hands of our Saviour release from her affliction, was said to have come from this place; and her house was shown in the city, and there remained wonderful memorials of the benefit done to her by the Saviour.
For there stood upon a lofty stone, at the gates of her house, a bronze figure of a woman bowed upon her knee, with her hands stretched out before her, like one entreating; and opposite to this, another figure of the same material, an upright figure of a man, decorously clad in a double cloak and stretching out his hand toward the woman; at whose feet, upon the pillar itself, there grew a strange kind of herb, which, rising up to the hem of the bronze double cloak, proved to be a remedy against diseases of every kind.
They said that this statue bore the likeness of Jesus. And it remained even to our own day, so that we beheld it with our own eyes when we sojourned in the city.
And it is no marvel that those of old from among the gentiles, having been benefited by our Saviour, did these things, since we have also seen the likenesses of His apostles, Paul and Peter, and indeed of Christ Himself, preserved in painted portraits—as was likely, the ancients being wont, after their gentile custom, thus to honour without scruple as deliverers those who had been such to them.
