Although the ‘Albanian’ state started to disintegrate soon after 705, the Aluan script seemed to have been in continuous use until at least the 12th century. For instance, the Kilikean historian Haython (Hethum), a nephew of the Kilikean king Hethum I (1226—1269), reported in 1307: «Literas habent Armenicas, et alias etiam, quae dicuntur Haloën» (Haythoni Armenii historia orientalis, quae eadem et De Tartaris inscribitur , Coloniae Brand. 1671:9).
