Anonyma 59 was a nun of distinguished family (μονάζουσά τις τῶν ἐπισήμων); she had a daughter (Anonyma 60) who was cured of an unclean spirit by St Ioannikios (Ioannikios 2); this apparently took place in the district known as Kondouria, from which she and her daughter used to travel back and forth to Bithynia and Mt Olympus: Petrus, Vita Ioannicii 46-47, cf. Sabas, Vita Ioannicii 12 (Ioannikios 2 met two nuns, mother and daughter, whom he persuaded to return to their monastery while he was proceeding from Ephesus to Kondouria; it is not clear if this refers to the same incident or not).
