Anonymus 199 was the local ruler at Cherson, where he governed with the so-called fathers of the city (ὁ λεγόμενος πρωτεύων μετὰ καὶ τῶν πατέρων τῆς πόλεως τὰ πάντα ἦν διοικῶν); in c. 833 he was told henceforth to obey the orders of the newly created strategos of Cherson (see Petronas 7): Theoph. Cont. III 28 (pp. 123-124). The post was apparently semi-independent of the emperor's authority, and this was a way to bring it under the control of the empire.
