C. (Tacitus, "A. " ii. 49). Within the aroade a small diaconia was erected in the sixth century for dispensing charity to the Greeks who resided in the neighbourhood (Schola Grseca). Its walls were built with small blocks of yellow tufa. Adrian I. , 772-95, turned this diaconia into a Greek church. The north side of the statio became the north wall of the church, the side walls of the diaconia being pierced with arches, three piers and nine columns being inserted, as he lengthened the building ...over the site of the Temple of Ceres, which he destroyed (Anastasius, c. 341). Above these arches he built galleries for the women, and over the whole he erected a clere- story in brick. The junction of the two periods can be seen above the seventh arch on the left. He built apses at the end of the nave and aisles out of the red tufa stones of the temple, remains of which BY THE TIBER. 211 can be seen in entering the crypt below the gospel ambo and in the court on the side. This church is mentioned in the " Eiusidlense Itineriiria" of the eighth century, and the street on the south side is still called Via della Greca.
