Summary information

Characteristics

Classification

Close to Syrian in form due to the inscribed apse with a room to the south and the Π-shaped chancel. Assessment is supported by theory of Bagatti that the coin of Justin II comes from his persecution of monophysites (beginning in 572) and the destruction of the church at that time.
