Anonymus 181, the servant of the khagan of the Khazars (Anonymus 176), betrayed to the Khagan's sister (Theodora 1) the plot of her brother (Anonymus 176) to have her husband, the exiled emperor Justinian II (Ioustinianos 1), killed: Theoph. AM 6196, Nic. Brev. de Boor 41, Mango 42. The date was shortly before 705 and the incident occurred at Phanagouria. Anonymus 181 was presumably a Khazar.
