13382 Ḥorvat Teena; Khirbet Umm et Tina Theodosius Church Southern and Western Samaria Simple rectangular room An elongated hall (3.2x9.3m) marked H on the plan, with an ante room to its west, marked I on the plan, is attached to the church on the south. It was paved in white mosaics. An opening, 0.96m wide, connected between the two. Another doorway near the eastern end of the hall, later blocked and plaster, connected it with the adjacent pastophorium. A circular depression in the white mosaic floor of Room I might have held a stone stand. It is hereby suggested that the hall might had served originally as a diakonikon, although the location of the doorway viz-a-viz the pastophorium, rather than viz-a-viz the southern aisle, is unusual. It is hard to tell what was the function of this hall when the doorway connecting the two was blocked. 1

13123 Ḥorvat Zikhrin Church Southern and Western Samaria Other Other An annex of a few rooms was found north of the church, the entrance was through the northern wall of the narthex. Two of the rooms were built along the northern wall of the church. A third room, with more than one phase of building, was found to the north with internal windows in its northern and eastern walls, and evidence to a fourth room, with a window in its north wall, can be seen east of the third room. The function of this annex is not clear. The rooms attached to the northern wall of the church might have belonged to a sacristy. However, elsewhere Taxel (2005, 37) argues that a plastered alley 2.5m wide separated between the church and the northern annex. 1

11972 Ḥorvat Beer Shem'a; Birsama St. Stephanos Beer Sheba Valley Three units annex. The western one - a quadrangular baptismal chapel (see below); the central one - seemingly a quadrangular prothesis chapel (see below), with a square room on its east, seemingly a sacristy. Quadrangular chapel A two unit wing entered from the southern aisle through an opening near the western end of the western unit, 8x4m in dimensions. The eastern unit, 4 X 4 m. in dimensions, looks like square room with an opening, but the remains on its western side might have been just the foundations of a screen. If such was the case, the two units wing constituted a quadrangular chapel. But the fact that the western unit was not mosaic paved raises a dificalty. The chapel was accessed via a doorway in the center of the southern wall of the church aisle. Quadrangular chapel Rectangular room attached to the church from southwest and entered from the narthex. 4m wide. The floor was paved with a mosaic with geometric and floral patterns. The room is divided in two by a small wall with passages on both ends. The baptismal font, hemispherical, is set in a hemispherical masonry envelop, 0.5m distant from the eastern wall. It was reveted in marble on the inside and outside. Four stairs led in from the west. Inscriptions were set in its northern, southern and western sides. The one in the western side mentions that the house was dedicated to the Trinity. The reference may refer to the baptistery, rather than to the entire church, which was dedicated to St. Stephan. 1

14366 Ḥorvat Galil; Khirbet Jalil Basilica Western Galilee A wide building was attached north of the church.
