Anonymus 129 was a native of Kytagion (Kotyaion); he was a scholarios and apparently lived near the monastery of St. Zacharias at Atroa; owner of a horse, Anonymus 129 entrusted it to the care of a friend, the priest Sophronas 1, when called away once on duty to Constantinople (πρὸς τὴν βασιλεύουσαν πόλιν εἰς τὴν ἑαυτοῦ στρατείαν πορευθέντος): Vita Petr. Atr. 110 (Vita Petr. Atr. Retractata, pp. 163-165). He apparently had just the one horse. See also on this episode Haldon, Byzantine Praetorians, p. 325.
