THE TOMBS
There were four tombs in the parecclesion, each in a deep niche
which originally held a sarcophagus with mosaics or frescoes above;
some fragments of the latter still exist.
Tomb A , the first in the north wall, though it has lost its
identifying inscription, is almost certainly that of Theodore
Metochites himself; it has an elaborately carved and decorated
archivolt above.
Tomb B is entirely bare.
Tomb C has well preserved paintings of a man and woman in
princely dress but has lost it inscription.
Tomb D is that of Michael Tornikes, general and friend
of Metochites, identified by the long inscription above the
archivolt, which is even more elaborately carved than that of
Metochites himself; fragments of mosaic and painting still
exist.
Tomb E , in the fifth bay of the outer narthex, is that of the
princess Eirene Raoulaina Palaeologina, a connection by
marriage of Metochites. It preserves a good deal of its fresco
painting.
Tomb F , in the fourth bay of the outer narthex, is that of a
member of the imperial Palaeologus family but cannot be more
definitely identified, though it preserves some vivid painting
of clothes.
Tomb G , in the second bay of the outer narthex, is the latest in
the church, probably not long before the Turkish Conquest; the
painting shows strong influence of the Italian Renaissance, but
the owner cannot be identified.
