It is found fairly frequently at this time in Greece, particularly in the north; this example shows the form grafted on to the Greek Cross type. Constructionally it is related to the Churches of Holy Luke and St. Nicodemos, and is dated by Megaw to the first quarter of the 11th century. Elevation." |
