komêstêrion is a mistake - should be koimêstêrion.

Perhaps the place where the bodies of the faithful are
buried, the cimiterium or coemeterium, can be inside the
church ? The word is a loan from Greek to komêstêrion
= a sleeping room, a burial place (LSJ, p 968, col 1).
See Du Cange, II, p 329, col 2
[ See http://tinyurl.com/yuedo2 ]
CIMITERIUM, pro Coemeterium
II. p 388, col. 1
COEMETERIUM, Locus in quo humantur fidelium corpora.
COEMETERIUM, Ecclesia, in qua scilicet fidelium corpora
humantur.
