The Gospel of John refers to Golgotha as being very near the city, so near that all who passed by could read the inscription. Considering also the prophecy in Psalms 69:12, his place of crucifixion would have been near enough to the gate that Jesus could hear what the people were saying about him there. And just as Eusebius comments in Onomasticon concerning Golgotha as being a hill just outside Jerusalem, north of the ancient Mount Zion, this hill fits his description.
