at domus interior septem subnixa columnis crystalli algentis vitrea de rupe recisis construitur, quarum tegit edita calculus albens in conum caesus capita et sinuamine subter subductus conchae in speciem, quod mille talentis margaritum ingens, opibusque et censibus hastae addictis, animosa Fides mercata pararat.
An inner chamber, too, is constructed, which rests on seven pillars cut from a glassy rock of ice-like crystal and topped with a white stone cut cone-wise and curved on the lower part into the likeness of a shell, a great pearl to buy which Faith had boldly sold at auction all her substance and her property, and paid for it a thousand talents.
