As will already have occurred to many, it's unlikely that there would be _two_ different portraits of the same saint in the same little dome (but it's not impossible: Justin Martyr appears twice in the June calendar portraits in this very church's north-west little dome, first without attribution and, a little further on, as "the Philosopher"). In this case, though, the portraits are in two different domes: the first in the north-east little dome and the second in the south-east one. Apologies for the editing error.
Best again,
JD
