In the summer of 2018, we examined the Church of Taksiyarhis, which was used as a museum in Ayval？k in the framework of identifying, examining and compiling the churches with “U” nartex the aim of completing the shortcomings we saw in the first chapter. Within the scope of this trip, we have identified two churches that may be included in Ayval？k and another in Kü？ükk？y, one located south of Ayval？k and included in our investigation.

We evaluated the 4 churches we have determined to be the first installment of the Taksiyarhis Church in accordance with the criteria we have applied for the previous structures and because of the differences the region has shown, some The differences. In the table that appears today, we think that only the structures in Mytilene Island are left for review, but our research may be able to bring us new surprises
