The upper floor of the N.E. corner of the monastery is occupied now by three chapels, being almost side by side (St. George, 1609; St. John Chrysostome, 1695; St. Niphon, 1782). The parts of the 16th-17th century frescoes that recently came to light on the north wall of the present-time corridor, revealed the former existence of a fourth chapel at the same place. This chapel had been destroyed, most probably, in the 19th century.Its existence is testified in Barski’s drawing (1744) and in a copper-print view of the monastery dating from 1780. In this copper-print the chapel is mentioned under the name «Aghii Pandes».The insuitability of this part of the monastery for residential use, must have been, most probably, the reason for its occupation by the chapels erected here in different periods of time.Finally, a part of a fresco found stored in the ossuary of the cemetery chapel, showing the Aghion Mandylion, was attributed to the former chapel of Aghii Pandes.
