Anonymus 185 was a koiaistor in the reign of Leo V (Leo 15) (813/820); he supposedly interpreted a Sibylline oracle, found in a book in the imperial library, as alluding to the murder of an emperor called Leo on Christmas Day: Theoph. Cont. I 22 (p. 36) (ὁ τηνικαῦτα τὴν τοῦ κοιαίστορος ἐπανῃρημένος ἀρχὴν μόνος διετράνου τὸ τοῦ χρησμοῦ), Zon. XV 21. 13-17 (ὁ τότε κοιαίστωρ).
