On the apse cord under altar A block of undressed limestone is found between the imprints of the altar legs. The stone was not part of the bedrock. A cavity with iron remains indicated that a metal cross was once fixed into it and it bears traces of being deliberately chipped. It appears to be the sacred stone mentioned by Egeria apud Petrus Diaconus - the mensa domini on which, according to tradition, Christ placed the loaves and fishes. It seems that the stone was originally placed in the primitive chapel that preceded the basilica, and only part of it was placed in the basilica, under its altar. A cist tomb was found below the mosaic floor next to the altar. Its legs oriented east. It seems to be a late intrusion. SB 1

When the chapel went out of use and the basilica was built, part of the stone was removed and placed under the altar of the new structure. SB 1
