The altar to the left is part of a Roman sarcophagus with a funerary inscription in letters of the Imperial period: C. IVLIO NICOSTRATO FILIO · PIISSIMO ANN · XVIII · M · VIIII · D · XII IVLIVS · NICOSTRATVS. Upon the piers and walls are remains of paintings of various dates. On the first pier to the left is S. Catherine, vested as a Byzantine empress.
