Anonyma 15 was the daughter of the emperor Justinian II (Ioustinianos 1); in 704 he promised her hand in marriage to the Bulgar ruler Tervel 1 in return for assistance in regaining his throne: Theoph. AM 6196, Nic. Brev. de Boor 42, Mango 42, Zon. XIV 24. 15 (καὶ τὴν θυγατέρα αὐτῷ συζεῦξαι καθυποσχόμενος). She is not recorded again. If she was a daughter of Ioustinianos 1 and Theodora 1 she could have been no more than an infant in 704. Perhaps Anonyma 15 was Ioustinianos 1's child by a previous liaison or marriage; her mother may therefore have been Eudokia 8.
