Quadrangular chapel |
In a second constructive phase (528/30) a narrow chapel (18X4.5 m.), was added (or repaired) on the north. It functioned as a diakonikon, comprising two unequal spaces (the eastern one, with an offering table, being almost twice longer), separated from each other by a chancel screen. The chancel screen had two half-posts abutting the walls while one of the central post served also as a table leg. Two panels were fixed between the posts.
Three inscriptions were found in the eastern part (nos. 4-6; no. 6 is dated to 530). The two entrances from the northern aisle also held inscriptions (nos. 2-3, dated to 528 and 529-30); a third entrance led in from the west. The western wall of the diaconicon is shifted somewhat east relative to the western wall of the basilica and the baptistery, creating a 'gap' in the plan.

Quadrangular chapel |
A spacious baptistery (23X10 m.) was added in a third phase to the north of the chapel. It comprised of a main room with the baptismal font and three narrower units, two to its west and one to its east. This layout permitted to carry the sacrament of baptism for the catechumens in a convenient and spacious manner (a baptistry of a "processional type"). The font did not survive; its location and shape is suggested by a cross-shaped depression in the floor.
The westernmost broad room, serving perhaps as a reception hall, was entered from south. The one to its east might had served as an apodyterium, where the catechumens were undressed and anointed with oil. The central room, square and spacious (8x8 m), held the baptismal font in which the catechumens were baptized. Two columns adorned the doorway between the apodyterium and this "Holy of the Holies" (only their limestone plinths were preserved). The easternmost broad room of the complex was the "chrismarion", into which the Neophitoi (newly illumined) proceeded to after the baptism. There they were dressed in new white robes, given lit candles and passed to the main church for the first Holy Communion (Eucharist).
Seven Inscriptions were laid in the baptistery: two located near the arcade of the font (nos. 7-8), two west of the arcade (nos. 9-10, 9 is dated to 549), two between the columns of the colonnade (nos. 11-12, 11 is dated to 548-549), the last inscription is located north of the entrance to the complex (no. 14, dated to 594).
The baptismal font was looted, as well as the ciborium which rested on columns over it, but the remains of the lower parts of piers and intermediate column bases permits a partial graphical reconstruction of the ciborium. Its upper part was resting on four, Г-shaped, corner piers, and on four intermediate columns with Attic bases. The baptismal font was seemingly cross-shaped.
A tomb covered by limestone slabs was found in the apodyterium. |
Simple rectangular room |
A tomb covered by limestone slabs was found in the apodyterium.
The existence of a burial(?) crypt (not excavated), was suggested to the west of the basilica, between it and the more western atrium. |

According to K. Schick the door in the southern wall of the basilica opened in, to the aisle; hence this opening could not lead to any southern annex; it led outside. |

|
Quadrangular chapel |
The northern annex was 27m long and 6m wide. It is attached on the north, mosaic paved, accessed from the northern aisle and perhaps also from the west. Its eastern end was disturbed by a later cistern, so its shape - whether apsidal or quadrangular, cannot be known. The western part is mosaic paved, 5.80x9m in dimensions. The sill of the opening connecting between the annex and the northern aisle is located beyond the eastern end of the mosaic carpet.
The annex extended farther east beyond the said cistern, but it is not known if the eastern part formed a separate unit (in any case, the said mosaic carpet does not extend as far. According to Vincent, the tomb of empress Eudocia might have been located in the annex. |
