Anonyma 58 was the wife of Stephanos 128; she was allegedly poisoned by her attendants; after seeking the aid of doctors and obtaining no relief she was taken by relatives and friends to see Ioannikios 2 (who was then living near the monastery of Antidios) and was miraculously cured by him: Sabas, Vita Ioannicii 35 (γυνὴ γάρ τις τοῦ πατρικίου καὶ μαγίστρου Στεφάνου), Petrus, Vita Ioannicii 63 (ἡ γυνὴ Στεφάνου τοῦ ποτὲ γεγονότος μαγίστρου). For the date, probably late in the reign of Michael II (Michael 10) or soon afterwards, see Ioannikios 2.
