Anonymus 224 was a monk and hermit, living in the monastery of Kallistratos; he was a monothelete; during the first reigh of Justinian II (Ioustinianos 1), 685-695, and upon the succession of Leontios 2, Anonymus 224 prophesied to Philippikos 1 (Philippikos Bardanes) that he would gain the imperial throne; as a reward for the prophecy he demanded the annulment of the Sixth Ecumenical Council: Theoph. AM 6203, Zon. XIV 26. 2 (ἀναγωγὴν μοναχόν τινα ἔγκλειστον ὄντα ἐν τῇ τοῦ Καλλιστράτου μονῇ καὶ τῆς προρρήσεως αἰτῆσαι μισθὸν τὴν τῆς ἕκτης συνόδου ἀθέτησιν (ἦν γὰρ τῆς τῶν Μονοθελητῶν ὁ μοναχὸς ἐκεῖνος αἱρέσεως) καὶ τὸν ὑποσχέσθαι).
