Anonyma 74 was the sister (Vita B Theod. Stud. - τῆς μιᾶς ἀδελφῆς, Vita C Theod. Stud. - μικρᾷ ἀδελφῇ, μιᾶς ἀδελφῆς) of Theodore the Stoudite (Theodoros 15), Ioseph 3 and Euthymios 14; with others of her family she left Constantinople and withdrew from the world (in c. 781) to follow her uncle Platon 1 into the monastic life; while the male members of the family settled at Sakkoudion in Bithynia, she and her mother became nuns in a nearby female monastery: Vita B Theod. Stud. 241A, Vita C Theod. Stud. §§8-9, p. 262. Her parents were Photeinos 21 and Theoktiste 3. She died before 799: Theod. Stud., Ep. 6, pp. 21-23 (a. 797/799; addressed to Theodoros 15's mother, Theoktiste 3), cf. lines 24-25 (God took first Theodoros 15's sister and then his brother).
