Ani church of St Gregory of Tigran Honents View from north 3660

In another picture one can see the side of a chapel to the north of a narthex in front of the church. However, on this picture the ruined building in the right front must be what remained of that chapel. I have a picture of a fresco of its south side, and that is all we'll see of it.

Tigran Honents was a wealthy merchant who lived in Ani.
An inscription runs along the southern facade of the church, in which Tigran Honents speaks of his donations of lands, gold, money, and buildings to the religious order of the city.
