The cleft in the rock of Golgotha is mentioned in a fragment of the defence made before Maximinus in 311 or 312 by Lucian the Martyr of Antioch The fragment is added by Rufinus to his Latin translation of Eusebius, Hist. Eccl. ix. 6, and is also given in Routh, Rell. Sacr. iv. p. 6.:  If yet you believe not, I will also offer you the testimony of the very spot on which the thing was done.  The place itself in Jerusalem vouches for these facts, and the rock of Golgotha broken asunder under the weight of the Cross:  that cave also, which when the gates of hell were burst, gave back the Body in newness of life.”  On this passage Dr. Routh remarks that Maundrell, Journey from Aleppo to Jerusalem, at Easter, 1697, “shews that the rock had been rent not by any instrument, but by the force of an earthquake.  Also it is related by Eusebius in his Theophania, a book now recovered, that there was one cave only in this cleft of the rock.”
