Ὅν τρόπον ἐπιποθεῖ ἡ ἔλαφος ἐπὶ τὰς πηγὰς τῶν ὑδάτων, οὕτως ἐπιποθεῖ ἡ ψυχή μου πρὸς σὲ, ὁ Θεός. Χριστέ βοήθει τῷ κτίστῃ.

As the hart panteth after the water brooks, so panteth my soul after Thee, O God (Psalm 42:1). Lord Christ, help the builder.

"According to Cohen, the church was constructed in the 5th century but no evidence is given."

Ὅν τρόπον ἐπιποθεῖ ἡ ἔλαφος ἐπὶ τὰς πηγὰς τῶν ὑδάτων, οὕτως ἐπιποθεῖ ἡ ψυχή μου πρὸς σὲ, ὁ Θεός. Χριστέ βοήθει τῷ κτίστῃ.
