The tomb proper was a sarcophagus ^ (undecorated) ^
sometimes two, side by side placed below
this massive canopy.

The excavated tombs here are in form (of)
an oblong chamber 3ft x 7. and about
4ft deep, with arcosolia on either side.
The aperture is covered by a huge
sarcophagus lid of ordinary form with
horns at the four angles.

One of these tombs is the famous Eustius
tomb found by De Vogüe bearing a Greek
inscription, on the face of the western
arcosolium, giving the date August 27, 368 A.D.
