Anonymus 66 was the unnamed relative of the hypatos Anonymus 65 (τῶν κατὰ σάρκα ἰδιαζόντων τις; ὁ γαμβρὸς αὐτοῦ); Anonymus 66 tricked Anonymus 65, who was accused of plotting against the emperor Theophilos 5, into giving himself up, and then wrote a letter to the emperor claiming credit for his arrest, but, following predictions by Peter of Atroa (Petros 34), while the hypatos was only fined, Anonymus 66 was subjected to a most severe flogging: Vita Petr. Atr. 64, pp. 189-193.
