I have made a wide search for information as to the dates of the building and destruction of this chapel. Only one solitary note has come to my knowledge. I have noticed several re-used stones; but perhaps if that wall were to be more closely examined or pulled down, some further history might disclose itself.
And that, though the twelfth-century voussoirs were re-used others of a fine grained stone were inserted among them to strengthen the arches, or as a substitute for some of the rougher sandstones that could not be used again.
Vergil apparently never published the Ciris, for he re-used its lines, indeed whole blocks of its lines with a freedom that cannot be paralleled. The much discussed line of the fourth Eclogue: Cara deum suboles, magnum Jovis incrementum, and Aeneid II. 405: Ad caelum tendens ardentia lumina frustra, and a score of others.
