there is a doorway opening into one of three apartments that flank the church on that
side, and occupy the north side of the court. Two of these apartments are square
and are spanned each by a transverse arch which brings their flat stone roofs to the
height of the similar roof of the church: the other is divided by a transverse wall into
two rooms on the ground floor, and is two storeys high. To the westward of this
apartment are two small square rooms in two storeys, which project beyond the front
wall of the church. On the west side of the courtyard are three rooms, two of them
small and in two storeys, the other somewhat larger, and spanned by a high trans-
verse arch. Next to this, on the south side of the court, is a small vestibule with a

doorway on the interior and an arch opening into the street. The bearing of the
major axis of the church it almost the same as that of the Julianos Church, and, if
the same angle of orientation indicates coincidence of date, we have here another
fourth-century church. Considerable portions of this building are in situ: the front
presents quite a striking appearance with its steps partly visible and with one of its
columns still standing full high and others half high. From the ruins, that is from
the spacing of the two middle columns and from the voussoirs that lie in the portico,
it seems quite certain that the middle intercolumniation was arched. Two of the trans-
verse arches at the west end of the nave are still in place with the slabs of the stone
roof above them, and the narrow arch of the presbyterium and parts of its roof are still
preserved. The buildings about the court present a well preserved and interesting group.
