The Parastaseis Syntomoi Chronikai (73-74) speaks of destroyed statues that once adorned the baths, leaving Crow et al., 2008, p. 222 to conclude that the bath was not in use anymore at the time the Parastaseis was written (c. 800). However, a later Russian description from the 14th century still describes that the baths were used, which means that the bath was not completely out of order.
