Mosaics in front of the chapel with an apse north of the presbytery.
Two villages appear at the east end of each aisle: Diblaton (at the north aisle, here on the photo), and Limbon (at the south aisle). The villages are associated with portraits of benefactors which have inscriptions bearing their names. The benefactors include Kaium who was a monk and priest of Phisga and superior of the monastery on Mount Nebo.
