The monumental dromos of this tomb is the longest ever excavated in Cyprus. A flight of 14 steps leads down to a vaulted passage. Several loculi and niches were carved out of the rock on the sides of the dromos. On the southern side another staircase with 9 steps leads down to a well, the head of which is faced with four worked stones forming a circular mouth. Opposite the well there are two niches with one offering table constructed during the Roman period. The 20m long dromos, which originally was covered by a vault carved out of the living rock opens into a peristyle court. The main chamber with a barrel-shaped vault is situated just opposite the dromos on the same axis. The atrium epistyle and the roof of both the porticoes and the chamber have been destroyed by quarrying. (The chamber had been restored in 1986). Three loculi and a shaft tomb were found in the chamber. The loculi were originally closed by slabs and covered by painted plaster in imitation of a wooden door and date to the Hellenistic period. The same practise is met with in Macedonia and Alexandria which no doubt influenced the burial customs of Hellenistic Cyprus. The Alexandrine influence was very strong in Paphos since that city became the seat of the Governor and his Macedonian garrison. It is evident that this most important cemetery was used for the burial of the Ptolemaic officials stationed in Paphos.
