The filling up of the arcades, the thickening of the walls, the isolation of the lateral chapels, the removal of the southern aisle, the alteration of the narthex, the building of the parecclesion and outer narthex, and most of the decoration which forms the glory of the church, belong to the great work of restoration by Theodore Metochites early in the fourteenth century. The representation of the church in the mosaic panel above the large door to the church shows a building with a central dome, a narthex terminating in domed bays, and a window in the west dome arch. It seems to represent the church as the artist was accustomed to see it previous to the additions (Fig. 115). Plain cross plans, or cross plans with only one lateral gallery, are not unknown. The church of the Archangels, Sygé,[541] shows such a plan and is here reproduced for purposes of comparison. [Illustration: PLATE LXXXIX. S. SAVIOUR IN THE CHORA.
