Konstantinos 9, full of enthusiasm, filled the palace with the cry that the Lord had wrought a miracle at her tomb, so that all might know that her soul was numbered among the angels
Her desire for nourishment faded, the lack of nourishment increased and kindled a fatal fever in her; the wasting of her body, its fading as it were, was a preliminary sign that death was near
One of the little silver-plated columns around her tomb took in moisture in a part where the precious metal had split and in accordance with natural laws produced a little mushroom
She died, having reigned with three imperial husbands, Romanos 3, Michael 4 and Konstantinos 9, a total of 22 years; after her death Konstantinos reigned on with (?) Theodora, for 9 years [5 years for Konstantinos, Theodora 107 years more]
. Lupus protospatharius 59.9-13
She immediately thought of the prisons, remitted debts, released from misfortune those condemned, opened the imperial treasuries and let the gold in them flow out like a river
The imperial gold was dispersed unsparingly, intemperately; but after a short struggle with death and a slight change in her appearance she relinquished this life, after living for seventy-two years
When in the depth of old age (for her existence had stretched out more than seventy years) dissolved her life, Konstantinos 9 did not mourn like a man, but indeed like a boy
Zonaras 17.28.1
When she died at a great age, grief for her persisted deep in Konstantinos 9's heart: not only did he mourn her, pour libations of tears on her tomb and propitiate heaven on her behalf, but he wished to accord her God-like honour
When she was dead Konstantinos 9 raised up the flame of love and rekindled his desire; he all but fitted out a bridal chamber for himself and led Anonyma 210 there
