Deacon and notarios, Anastasios 11 was a ploiekdikos and served in the bureau (sekreton) of the patriarch of Constantinople; at the eighth session of the Third Council of Constantinople (the Sixth Ecumenical Council) on 7 March 681, he was named by the bishop of Melitene, Theodoros 26, as one of those jointly responsible with him for a statement noting that the question of One Will or Two had not been resolved at any of the previous five Ecumenical Councils; with most of the others named, he denied all knowledge of the document, but was asked to produce a statement of the faith in order to satisfy the Council: Riedinger, pp. 204-208 (= Mansi XI 341-345) (διάκονος καὶ νοτάριος ὁ πλοϊέκδικος). He was one of τινες τοῦ σεκρέτου τοῦ ἁγιωτάτου πατριάρχου Κωνσταντινουπόλεως: Riedinger, p. 204, line 15 (= Mansi XI 341). The old Latin version printed in Riedinger, p. 205, line 16 (= Mansi XI 342, 343) styles him "diaconus et notarius et defensor nauium". He was perhaps a cleric and a lawyer in the patriarchal bureau, concerned with legal affairs affecting shipping owned by the church. At the ninth session he was one of the group of suspected heretics who were admitted after the start of the session to defend themselves; they all declared their readiness to present a statement of faith: Riedinger, p. 268, p. 276 (= Mansi XI 381, 385). They presented identical statements at the tenth session, which were accepted: Riedinger, pp. 386-396 (= Mansi XI 449-455).
