Bronze Candelabrum
seven-branched. lampstand.

And of St. Eustace. 135
safe from all violence, together with other more precious items, they had hidden.
There follows a seven-branched candelabrum,
suitable for carrying seven candles, six palms high, three wide at the upper
part, which indeed displays great antiquity,
fitted with a manifold row of rings mobile on all sides, of the kind also
seen here in Rome in the Choirs of ancient Basilicas, by which indeed these
seven-branched candelabra seem to have been intended to express nothing other
than the seven apocalyptic candelabra, which represented the seven Churches of Asia, or the
seven spirits or Angels who always stand in the sight of God. But lest we seem
to have omitted anything worthy of consideration, it has been decided to place
its figure here.
The relics also, which are found in this Church, are especially rare
and precious. There are among others, first, a notable particle of the Holy Cross,
[relics] of almost all the Apostles, as well as of SS. Stephen, Clement,
Cornelius, and other Pontiffs, St. Lawrence, and
other Martyrs, which to this day are placed in a separate
Repository, to which one ascends only through the application of a portable ladder,
[and] are shown to the people on certain solemn days, to excite devotion.
