Several dozens of commemorative or donor inscriptions dated to different periods have been preserved on the walls of the church. They are executed in asomtavruli, the so-called transitional nuskhuri, and mkhedruli scripts. They do not provide any kind of direct account about construction or renovation of the church. Most of these inscriptions have not been published.
