There is a variety of well carved capitals
of sub-ionic and sub-corinthian types.

Only the outer walls of the original
structure are in place and a small fragment
of the apse arch projecting above the
roof of the present building.

The two doorways of the south side are still
preserved with their simple lintel decoration.
That farthest west bears an insc. in Syriac
(E.L. insc.14) stating that the edifice was
completed in the year of Antioch 556 (567 A.D).
The other has an irregularly disposed
insc. in the same letters (EL insc. 14) giving
further information about the expenses of the church.

West of the church is a large well
preserved sarcophagus on a high raised base.
See photos W.K.P. 67.
