- Bosio only explored for two hours and produced no precise plan.
- Bosio indicates two cubiculi, very small, and went to lengths to emphasize the modesty of the cemetery (remarks about the complete lack of sculpted marble).
- Notes that almost every burial had a menorah (7 branches) incised or painted in red in the [loculi sealing] cement.
- Tombs were sealed with bricks and plaster, on which was painted or inscribed an inscription.
- The tombs were carved in both the walls and the floors.
