Anna 9 was the wife of Leo 258 (and was therefore a patrikia) and the mother of Ioannes 442 (cf. Theod. Stud., Epigrammata 120. 7-8: αὐτῆς γε ταύτης καὶ Λέοντος συζύγου, μεθ' ὧν Ἰωάννου τε, φιλτάτου τέκνου) and of other children (cf. Theod. Stud., Epigrammata 115. 4: σὺν τέκνοις); she and her husband agreed to follow a monastic life and she became a nun and a founder of monasteries; she founded the female monastery of Ignai jointly with her husband in their own house, and was probably also founder of a monastery of the Theotokos (cf. Theod. Stud., Epigrammata 120. 1-4: Ἄννης ἀπαρχὴ τῷ Θεῷ καὶ Δεσπότῃ ἡ τῇδε μάνδρα καὶ μονὴ σεβάσμια ἐπωνύμουσα τῆς πανάγνου Παρθένου καὶ παρθένους φέρουσα νυμφιόκλεως): Theod. Stud., Epigrammata 114, 115, 120. She was buried in the same tomb as her husband, in the monastery of Ignai: Theod. Stud., Epigrammata 115. 1-2: Ἄννης τὸ σῆμα συμφυῶς ὧδε βλέπεις, ὧς τῷ συνεύνῳ συμφρονησάσης ἴσα. Her death was before 826 (when Theodoros 15 died). See also Speck, Jamben pp. 294ff., 310-314. Cf. also Anna 10.
