Anonyma 39 was a wealthy lady (λίαν εὐπόρῳ οὔσῃ) living in Thrace; she was accustomed to provide lodgings for travellers (she was the daughter of an inn-keeper according to Synax. Eccl. Const.); in 811 she gave accommodation to Nikolaos 27, a soldier left behind during the campaign of the emperor Nicephorus I (Nikephoros 8), but during the night she tried in vain to seduce him; he left the next day and she sent her attendants (τοὺς δουλοὺς αὐτῆς) after him to kill him: Vita Nic. Stud. 893C-896B, Synax. Eccl. Const. 341/342, 25-36 (where the soldier's name is recorded). Cf. EEBS 35 (1966/1967), pp. 220ff.. See also Kyprianos 5.
