Abstract (english)
In 562 Paul the Silentiary described ten different types of colored stone on the walls of Hagia Sophia, Constantinople. Eight of them can be clearly identified optically, but two of them, “onyx” and “Lydian,” are problematic. “Onyx” is puzzling because Paul gives no geographic origin for it, as he does for the others, but this can be explained by the use of alabaster/banded travertine from a variety of sources. The “pale yellow with swirling red” stone from Lydia listed by the Silentiary has... More not previously been identified in the building, but it can be recognized in a group of breccia panels on the main piers; the panels are rather similar to marble from sources that have recently been identified on the Karaburun peninsula near Izmir. Paul surely refers to this peninsula as the source of the Lydian stone; his term for the promontory corresponds perfectly to the shape of the peninsula. Less
