Anastasios 60's family name was Martinakios: Vita B Theod. Stud. 292C (Ἀναστάσιος ὄνομα, τοῦ γένους τῶν Μαρτινακίων λεγόμενος), cf. Vita C Theod. Stud. §47, p. 286 (Ἀναστάσιος, οὕτω καλούμενος Μαρτινάκιος), §54, p. 290 (ὁ προλεχθεὶς Μαρτινάκιος). In 817/818 he was sent by the emperor Leo V (Leo 15) to the Anatolikon theme (Vita B - ἕτερος πονηρίας ἄγγελος ἐκ τοῦ βασιλέως, Vita C - πονηρὸς ἄλλος παρὰ τοῦ βασιλέως ... ἄγγελος), where he threatened the strategos for not flogging Theodoros 15 (Theodore the Stoudite); he is described as cruel and fierce (Vita B - ἀπηνὴς λίαν ὑπάρχων καὶ τῆς βασιλικῆς δυσσεβείας ὁμόζηλος, Vita C - ἀπηνὴς ὢν καὶ θηριώδης τὸν τρόπον); informed that the flogging had been carried out, he went in person to check and, finding no weals on Theodoros's back, he gave him a hundred lashes himself; he then imprisoned Theodoros and Nikolaos 26 and carried away two other disciples of Theodoros, to imprison them elsewhere, and then returned to inform the strategos, who was so frightened for himself that he went and delivered a further flogging to Theodoros; meanwhile Anastasios 60 returned to the emperor: Vita B Theod. Stud. 292C-293A, Vita C Theod. Stud. §47, p. 286. Later, in 819 or 820, when Theodoros was in prison in Smyrna, Martinakios was sent there by the emperor and delivered another flogging to Theodoros: Vita C Theod. Stud. §54, p. 290. The same events are narrated also in Vita A Theod. Stud., 196AC (ὄνομα τῷ μιαρῷ Ἀναστάσιος), 204A (ὁ προλεχθεὶς Ἀναστάσιος), where he is unnamed. Possibly identical with Martinakios 1.
