Abstract :
Proskynetaria, as discussed during the symposium in Hernen Castle in September 2004, i.e. paintings with the various loci sacriin and around Jerusalem, are not attested in Byzantine sources. This is no proof that they did not exist in Byzantine times and it may be useful to examine the term προσκυνητάριον(proskynetarion) in a Byzantine context.
