(Parastaseis Syntomoi Chronikai 73-4)
73 The Constantinianai were built by Constantine the Great, as was the so-called Fossa. There were many remarkable statues in the Constantinianai which have been destroyed.
74 ... the cistern of the Basilica (was built) by Constantine the Great, the Chrysorrhoe by Licinius (308-324) at the order of Constantine.
The loss of the statues in the baths at Constantinianai (Constantianai) probably indicates that the baths themselves were no longer in use by the time this text was written (c. 800) The Chrysorrhoe is unlikely to have been a cistern, contrary to Janin (1964), 2012.
