Anonymus 590 was the strategos of Cappadocia (ὁ στρατηγὸς Καππαδοκίας); he and the strategos of the Anatolikoi, Leo 267, were among those who received a portion of hair following the ceremonial first cutting of the hair of the emperor Basil I (Basilios 7)'s second son, Leo (Leo 25): Const. Porph., De Cer. II 23 (Reiske 622). Leo 25 was born in September 866 and the ceremony perhaps occurred later that same year; cf. G. Dagron, "Nés dans le pourpre", in TM 12 (1994), p. 127, and Suda, s.v. κουρόσυνον} (Adler III 167).
