Anonymus 293 was a layman (κοσμικός τις) and a close friend of Gregory the Decapolite (Gregorios 79); he approached Gregorios 79 once with a gift, hoping for a blessing, but was warned instead to prepare for his approaching death; Anonymus 293 therefore went away, gave his property to the poor, received the tonsure and became a monk and then died: Ignatius, Vita Greg. Dec. 23.
