The nave mosaic has a central design consisting of stylized red crosses attached to connected diamonds. A large diamond is set at the center of each cross.

The frame consists of a broad quadriplaited inlay.
An inscription in a rectangular frame (1.1 m 40) facing east reads:
"For the salvation of Demetrius the deacon of Georgius his son and of all their household, the whole work was completed in the month of April of the year 582, indiction 12".
