This is where the beloved author of Luke-Acts has been laid to rest. There was some circular building that was later converted into a church. It was ascribed as Luke's tomb because there was apparently a bull carved into the door.
According to the Anti-Marcionite prologues, which from date to the second to the fourth century, Luke "died at the age of eighty-four years in Boeotia" (Koester Gospels, 335).
