(Patria 3.214)
Basil the Younger, who was modest and doing good and full of pity, the son of Emperor Romanus the Younger, who was born in the purple, pulled down the holy bath of the Blachernai (hagion louma) and erected it anew having decorated it in a grander and better fashion than it had been before. And he provided it with pictures and décor of silver and gold.
