The interior decorations must have been rich
judging from the sculpture of the caps,
of the pilasters at either end of the nave
arcades, which is a free treatment of
Corinthian? foliage. On the exterior the
doorways and windows were framed with
mouldings and string mouldings are employed
as a decoration of the west façade.

A special point of interest is the group of
round topped windows which pierce
the thickness of the outer wall of apse.

South of the church are the ruins of
(of) a large building with finely decorated
portal (see photo) toward the church and three
large round topped windows in the ground story
to the west. Above these was an open colonnade
of rectangular piers with decorated caps and
architrave - piers with thin architrave remain.

The interior of this building is of nondescript
plan with several [...] walls. Between this
building and the church the Gallienus insc. was
found (W.K.P. insc. 58)
