Who were these people?

Who were these people who used our little church at Hippos?

That's what interests me. I'll be looking for clues as to how they lived and what they thought.

When I found an oil lamp in 2002, that was such a clue. It was against the wall in a room that turned out to have our sarcophagus.

People could go into this room, light this lamp and pray near the remains of revered dead woman. That's who these people were. I'll be looking for other such clues.
