Anonyma 53 was the wife (τῆς τοῦ ἑρμηνευτοῦ γυναικὸς) of Anonymus 555, an unnamed imperial interpreter (basilikos hermeneutes); she lived at her husband's estate (προάστειον) near the city of the Bizytanoi (presumably Bizye) in Thrace, where she helped to hide the Slav king Perboundos 1 after his escape from Constantinople; Perboundos 1 was discovered when she was observed taking food to him in his hiding place among the reeds, and she was subsequently executed with her husband and family: Mir. Dem. II 4, 238-239. For the date of these events, probably 675/676, see Lemerle, Les plus anciens recueils, II, pp. 128-133.
