The Christian building was installed in Trajanic structures in the first half of the fifth century. |

Three cornerstones have been preserved in secondary jambs in the south entrance of room E. One is very low, the others are at mid height. One of the stones (nr. 506) has an interesting rectangular depression at the bottom. |
