Church |
Sea of Galilee |
On the north the basilica is flanked by a unit of three rooms: a small square room in the center entered from the northern aisle, and two rectangular rooms to the east and west of the square room. The western room also has an entrance from the narthex. Their exact functions are not known. In Phase II, after the damage caused by the Persian invasion of 614, this wing was converted to an oil press. |
See below, under prothesis chapel and baptistery. |
|
|
Apsidal chapel |
An apsidal chapel was installed in the western part of the southern annex, seemingly at the same time the baptistery was installed (infra). An opening near the western end of the aisle led in. The apse, internal was replacing the western part of the central room of the southern annex. A chancel screen separated the bema from the prayer hall. A second entrance, in its western wall, led into the chapel from the southern end of the narthex. |
Quadrangular chapel |
In the south the basilica is flanked by a small rectangular ante-chamber leading to a larger rectangular space east of it. An opening in its eastern wall, pierced in Phase Ib, connected it with baptismal room, installed in this phase in the southern pastophorium. Tzaferis (1983, 12), identified the rectangular space as a forecourt of the baptistery. Its mosaic pavement rather suggest that it was a roofed hall, serving as an assembly hall of the baptistery. Hence we have here a tripartite baptismal complex.
|
|
A crypt, entered by a staircase from the west was installed under the wing attached to the church on the south. Six troughs are found there; three on either side of a narrow corridor.
A complex of tombs were found immediately to the east of the church. Three of them were excavated. It was suggested that victims of the the 614 CE Persian invasion, among them women and children, were interred there. |

Quadrangular chapel |
On the southern side a baptistery was attached. Probably it was longer than the aisles of the domus and reached the eastern edge of the church-head. The shape of the monolithic font, located near the eastern end, was circular on the outside and quadrifoil on the inside (Ben-Pechat type 9a). It seems that two other rooms were attached to the baptistery on the eastern side. |

Apsidal chapel |
The attached chapel, a diakonikon, is an elongated chapel with an apse (3.75 m wide; 2.2 m deep). The walls were partially preserved and the mosaic pavements were in a poor state of preservation. The chapel has two entrances, one leading to the main church, the other towads the residential area. The apse was separated from the hall by a chancel screen. Fragments of an inscription (undecipherable) in a tabula ansata were found at the foot of the bema. |

Quadrangular chapel |
The martyrium measures 8.4 x 8.2 m. It is paved with several colorful mosaic carpets. It has two entrances, one from the northern passage, the other from a courtyard to its west. The walls had been decorated with frescoes in red, black and orange. A square pier in the center of the hall and arch-bearing piers along the walls were found, suggest a cruciform roof over the martyrium hall. Benches covered with reddish hydraulic plaster were constructed along three of the walls. |
