E vendosur 20 km n\u00eb jug t\u00eb Durr\u00ebsit, ajo dhe territori i saj, p\u00ebrve\u00e7 r\u00ebnd\u00ebsis\u00eb s\u00eb tij ka sh\u00ebrbyer edhe si nj\u00eb zon\u00eb e nd\u00ebrmjetme komunikimi midis qytetit-port dhe rajonit p\u00ebrreth t\u00eb Shqip\u00ebris\u00eb s\u00eb Mesme dhe m\u00eb gjer\u00eb. Si pjes\u00eb integrale e provinc\u00ebs s\u00eb Epirit t\u00eb Ri, kjo trev\u00eb, do t\u00eb p\u00ebrfshihej qysh prej shek. IV-V n\u00ebn juridiksionin e strukturave kishtare t\u00eb peshkopat\u00ebs s\u00eb Durr\u00ebsit. Nj\u00eb fakt t\u00eb till\u00eb e mb\u00ebshtesin jo vet\u00ebm dokumentet historike por edhe d\u00ebshmit\u00eb dhe gjetjet e shumta arkeologjike. K\u00ebshtu, prej k\u00ebrkimeve t\u00eb k\u00ebsaj disipline kemi evidentimin e nj\u00eb s\u00ebr\u00eb gjurm\u00ebsh t\u00eb nd\u00ebrtimeve t\u00eb vjetra kishtare me origjin\u00eb q\u00eb nga periudha e antikitetit t\u00eb von\u00eb (1). Gjurmimet dhe g\u00ebrmimet arkeologjike t\u00eb zhvilluara p\u00ebrgjat\u00eb viteve 70-80 t\u00eb shekullit t\u00eb kaluar na kan\u00eb dh\u00ebn\u00eb nj\u00eb hart\u00eb t\u00eb pasur t\u00eb objekteve t\u00eb kultit kristian. T\u00eb tilla jan\u00eb edhe mbetjet e nj\u00eb kishe q\u00eb gjenden n\u00eb fshatin Qerret (Fush\u00eb Qerret), p\u00ebrball\u00eb malit t\u00eb Robit, midis rrug\u00ebs automobilistike dhe bregut t\u00eb detit (2). N\u00eb nj\u00eb sip\u00ebrfaqe t\u00eb mbuluar prej fragmentesh materiali nd\u00ebrtimor dhe en\u00ebsh balte u gjet\u00ebm mbetjet e nj\u00eb muri an\u00ebsor, themelet e nj\u00eb abside gjasht\u00ebk\u00ebnd\u00ebshe, pjes\u00eb element\u00ebsh arkitektonike, tulla, en\u00eb balte, qeramik\u00eb, flet\u00eb qelqi, objekte metalike, nj\u00eb monedh\u00eb e periudh\u00ebs s\u00eb Justinianit, etj (3). N\u00eb studimin e tij, \u2018\u2019Hart\u00eb e monumenteve dhe e gjurm\u00ebve antike e mesjetare t\u00eb rrethit t\u00eb Durr\u00ebsit\u2019\u2019, botuar n\u00eb vitin 1982 n\u00eb revist\u00ebn \u2018\u2019Monumentet\u2019\u2019, arkeologu Halil Myrto do t\u00eb shfaqte mendimin se: \u2018\u2019\u2026 k\u00ebtu ruhen rr\u00ebnojat e nj\u00eb kishe paleokristiane me vazhdim\u00ebsi deri n\u00eb mesjet\u00ebn e mesme\u2019\u2019. Sipas tij \u2018\u2019 \u2026 ky \u00ebsht\u00eb vendi i kish\u00ebs s\u00eb Sh\u00ebn Todrit q\u00eb p\u00ebrmendet n\u00eb shekullin XI\u2019\u2019 (4). Prej materialeve t\u00eb gjetura n\u00eb k\u00ebt\u00eb kish\u00eb mund t\u00eb ve\u00e7ojm\u00eb nj\u00eb pjes\u00eb pllake mermeri ku \u00ebsht\u00eb paraqitur n\u00eb reliev nj\u00eb pjes\u00eb e monogramit t\u00eb Krishtit dhe copa tullash me shenja kryqi n\u00eb reliev (5). Por gjendja e rr\u00ebnojave dhe d\u00ebmtimet nga marrja e materialeve dhe punimet bujq\u00ebsore nuk do t\u00eb mund\u00ebsonin p\u00ebrcaktimin e p\u00ebrmasave, planimetris\u00eb dhe arkitektur\u00ebs s\u00eb k\u00ebsaj kishe. Gjithsesi gjetja e element\u00ebve arkitektonik\u00eb prej mermeri t\u00eb ardhur nga Prokonezi, ishullit n\u00eb detin Marmara, i cili p\u00ebrdorej p\u00ebr nd\u00ebrtimin e veprave t\u00eb r\u00ebnd\u00ebsishme, tregon se k\u00ebtu ndodhej nj\u00eb objekt jo i zakonsh\u00ebm i kultit kristian (6). Nd\u00ebrkoh\u00eb gjurm\u00eb t\u00eb faltoreve t\u00eb vjetra i ndeshim kudo. K\u00ebshtu, n\u00eb fshatin fqinj Kanaparaj, n\u00eb maj\u00ebn e nj\u00eb kodre t\u00eb quajtur ''Kodra e Kish\u00ebs'', ngrihej dikur godina e nj\u00eb tjet\u00ebr kishe paleokristiane. N\u00eb studimit, \u2018\u2019Ndihmes\u00eb p\u00ebr hart\u00ebn arkeologjike t\u00eb rrethit Durr\u00ebs\u2019\u2019, botuar n\u00eb vitin 1987 n\u00eb revist\u00ebn \u2018\u2019Iliria\u2019\u2019, arkeologu Afrim Hoti thekson se pran\u00eb saj u gjet\u00ebn: nj\u00eb trakt muri me p\u00ebrmasa 2.30 x 0.80 m, qeramik\u00eb nd\u00ebrtimi, en\u00eb balte, objekte metali, etj, t\u00eb cilat i p\u00ebrkasin periudh\u00ebs s\u00eb shek. V-XIV (7). K\u00ebtyre gjurmimeve nuk mund ti shp\u00ebtonte edhe gjeomonumenti i njohur i Shk\u00ebmbit t\u00eb Kavaj\u00ebs, ku jan\u00eb kryer k\u00ebrkime p\u00ebr ekzistenc\u00ebn e nj\u00eb tjet\u00ebr kishe. N\u00eb t\u00eb nj\u00ebjtin studim, arkeologu Halil Myrto, thekson se k\u00ebtu duhen k\u00ebrkuar mbetjet e nj\u00eb kishe mesjetare, q\u00eb sipas t\u00eb dh\u00ebnave t\u00eb Ana Komnen\u00ebs, Gulielmit t\u00eb Apulias, apo Atlasit t\u00eb Kamocios, duhet ti p\u00ebrkisnin kish\u00ebs s\u00eb Sh\u00ebn Nikoll\u00ebs (8). Pik\u00ebrisht k\u00ebto t\u00eb dh\u00ebna dokumentare ky autor do ti lidhte edhe me gjurm\u00ebt e gjetura n\u00eb terren. K\u00ebshtu gjat\u00eb sondazhit t\u00eb vitit 1973, t\u00eb kryer n\u00eb maj\u00ebn e Shk\u00ebmbit ku ruhet toponimi \u2018\u2019Qish\u00eb\u2019\u2019, u evidentuan fragmente t\u00eb shumta tullash dhe tjegullash, si dhe nj\u00eb fragment kolone mermeri me p\u00ebrmasa 0.80 x 0.45 m (9). Edhe gjat\u00eb g\u00ebrmimeve t\u00eb pjes\u00ebshme t\u00eb zhvilluara n\u00eb vitin 1988 n\u00eb t\u00eb nj\u00ebjtin vend, do t\u00eb zbuloheshin: nj\u00eb trakt muri me p\u00ebrmasa 3 x 0.80 m, fragmente tullash dhe tjegullash mesjetare, nj\u00eb fragment kapiteli prej mermeri, nj\u00eb pjes\u00eb pllake guri g\u00eblqeror e dekoruar n\u00eb reliev, si dhe gjasht\u00eb varre q\u00eb i p\u00ebrkisnin periudh\u00ebs s\u00eb shek. XIII (10). Nd\u00ebrkoh\u00eb q\u00eb gjurm\u00ebt e nj\u00eb tjet\u00ebr kishe t\u00eb vjet\u00ebr vijn\u00eb edhe nga fshati Lis-Patros, n\u00eb lindje t\u00eb Kavaj\u00ebs. N\u00eb nj\u00eb sip\u00ebrfaqe t\u00eb konsiderueshme q\u00eb ndodhet pran\u00eb lugin\u00ebs s\u00eb nj\u00eb p\u00ebrroi do t\u00eb evidentoheshin disa rr\u00ebnoja, midis t\u00eb cilave edhe nj\u00eb trakt muri me p\u00ebrmasa 2.40 x 1.10 m dhe fragmente t\u00eb ndryshme tullash. N\u00eb baz\u00eb t\u00eb tyre, arkeolog\u00ebt, do t\u00eb theksonin se k\u00ebto mbetje i p\u00ebrkisnin manastirit t\u00eb dikursh\u00ebm t\u00eb Petras, nga bashkimi i emrit t\u00eb s\u00eb cilit me at\u00eb t\u00eb fshatit Ilias, duket se vjen edhe emri Lis-Patros (11). Interesant \u00ebsht\u00eb edhe fakti se nga zona e Kavaj\u00ebs kemi edhe dy toponime t\u00eb tjera q\u00eb lidhen me faltoret kristiane. K\u00ebshtu, n\u00eb fshatin Shtodh\u00ebr q\u00eb ndodhet disa kilometra n\u00eb jug t\u00eb k\u00ebtij qyteti ndeshim toponimin e kish\u00ebs s\u00eb Sh\u00ebn Todrit, i cili si duket i ka dh\u00ebn\u00eb edhe emrin k\u00ebtij vendbanimi (12). Nd\u00ebrsa n\u00eb fshatin Beden kemi toponimin \u2018\u2019Kodra e Kish\u00ebs\u2019\u2019, n\u00eb maj\u00ebn dhe shpatet e s\u00eb cil\u00ebs jan\u00eb gjetur objekte arkeologjike, si: qeramik\u00eb nd\u00ebrtimi dhe en\u00eb balte t\u00eb shek. IV-V (13). Nd\u00ebrkoh\u00eb q\u00eb objekti m\u00eb p\u00ebrfaq\u00ebsues i trash\u00ebgimnis\u00eb kristiane n\u00eb k\u00ebt\u00eb trev\u00eb \u00ebsht\u00eb padyshim kisha e Sh\u00ebn e Premtes n\u00eb \u00c7et\u00eb, nj\u00eb faltore me origjin\u00eb nga mesjeta e von\u00eb, q\u00eb vijon t\u00eb funksionoj\u00eb jo vet\u00ebm si objekt kulti, por edhe si monument i trash\u00ebgimnis\u00eb kulturore.
