Anonyma 28 lived in the women's quarters in the palace during the reign of the emperor Michael I (Michael 7); inspired to prophetic frenzy by the cycles of the moon, she foretold the accession of the emperor Leo V (Leo 15): Genesius I 9, Zon. XV 20. 3-8 (τοῦ Μιχαὴλ τοῦ Ῥαγγαβὲ βασιλεύοντος γύναιόν τι τῶν περὶ τὴν γυναικωνῖτιν τῶν βασιλείων κάτοχον μανία γινόμενον κατὰ τὰς σεληνιακὰς περιόδους).
