Textual SourcesVita Stephani Iunioris, by Stephanus Diaconus (BHG 1666), ed. M.-F. Auzépy, La Vie d'Etienne le Jeune par Étienne le diacre. Introduction, édition et traduction (Aldershot, 1997); PG 100. 1069-1186 (hagiography)

Anonyma 36 was the daughter of Gregorios 73 and Anna 5, sister of Theodote 2 and of Stephen the Younger (Stephanos 2): Vita Steph. Iun. 91, 23-27 (1073D-1076A). When her father died, she was a nun in the monastery of Monokionion in Constantinople and so did not accompany her mother and sister to Mt Auxentius with Stephanos 2 (τῆς ἄλλης προαποκειραμένης ἐν ἑτέρῳ τοῦ Βυζαντίου μοναστηρίῳ): Vita Steph. Iun. 109, 9-10 (1093C), cf. 171, 12 (1177B) (Monokionion). At her brother's death (28 November 764 or 765 or 767) the mob sought her in the monastery of Monokionion to make her cast stones at his corpse, but she hid and they did not find her: Vita Steph. Iun. 171, 11-16 (1177B-C).
