Anonymus 619 was appointed chartoularios in Constantinople (λαχόντι ἐν τοῖς αὐτόθι παρὰ τοῦ κράτους χαρτουλαρεύειν) and sent to Sicily, where he promoted the cause of the iconoclasts; he was the son of an iconoclast (πατρόθεν ἐπὶ τὸ ἀσεβεῖν ἠγμένον) and had two brothers with him (σὺν δυσὶν ἄλλοις ὁμαίμοσιν) who were also active in the iconoclast cause; Theodoros 15 (Theodore the Stoudite) wrote a letter to the monk Theophanes 51 urging him to oppose his activities: Theod. Stud., Ep. 524 (c. 821/826).
