Aninas 1 was a monk, probably a Stoudite; he was in Hellas with other monks between 821 and 823 when they received a letter from Theodore the Stoudite (Theodoros 15) addressed to them jointly (Τοῖς ἠγαπημένοις ἀδελφοῖς Γρηγορίῳ, Ἰεζεκιήλ, Ἐράστῳ, Θεοφάνει, Ἀνίνᾳ, καὶ τοῖς λοιποῖς ἐν Ἑλλάδι: p. 617, lines 1-2); they had been scattered because of persecution; Theodoros 15 addresses them as πατέρες καὶ ἀδελφοί and as ὦ τέκνα (p. 617, lines 6, 22) (suggesting that they were Stoudites); the letter perhaps alludes to the rebellion of Thomas the Slav (Thomas 7) (ἀτακτοῦντος τοῦ ὑπηκόου: p. 617, line 9): Theod. Stud., Ep. 439, p. 617. Cf. Erastos 1.
