Summary: Paneas was said to be the home of the woman with the flow of blood healed by Jesus.

Greek text · Dindorf 4:315

Ἀλλʼ ἐπειδὴ τῆσδε τῆς πόλεως εἰς μνήμην ἐλήλυθα, οὐκ ἄξιον ἡγοῦμαι παρελθεῖν διήγησιν καὶ τοῖς μεθʼ ἡμᾶς μνημονεύεσθαι ἀξίαν. τὴν γὰρ αἱμορροοῦσαν, ἣν ἐκ τῶν ἱερῶν εὐαγγελίων πρὸς τοῦ σωτῆρος ἡμῶν τοῦ πάθους ἀπαλλαγὴν εὑρέσθαι μεμαθήκαμεν, ἐνθένδε ἔλεγον ὁρμᾶσθαι, τόν τε οἶκον αὐτῆς ἐπὶ τῆς πόλεως δείκνυσθαι, καὶ τῆς ὑπὸ τοῦ σωτῆρος εἰς αὐτὴν εὐεργεσίας θαυμαστὰ τρόπαια παραμένειν.

English · Claude translation

Since I have come to mention this city, I do not think it right to pass over a story worth remembering for those after us too. They said that the woman with the flow of blood, who we learn from the holy Gospels found relief from her suffering from our Saviour, came from here, and that her house was shown in the city, and that wonderful memorials of the Saviour's benefit to her remained.
