Anonymus 223 was the strategos of the Kibyrrhaiotai; in 678, after the Arab fleet (returning from its unsuccessful attempt to capture Constantinople) was partly wrecked by storms near Syllaion (in Pamphylia), he attacked and destroyed all the survivors: Zon. XIV 20. 18 (ἐπιθεμένου δὲ αὐτῷ καὶ τοῦ τῶν Κιβυρραιωτῶν στρατηγοῦ, ἅπας διώλετο). The title is probably anticipatory; the earliest reliable evidence for it is in 732; Oikonomides, Listes, p. 351.
