Anonyma 60 was the daughter of Anonyma 59 and of distinguished family (τῶν ἐπισήμων); she was afflicted by an unclean spirit, from which she was miraculously freed after the intervention of St Ioannikios (Ioannikios 2), who took her affliction upon himself and with difficulty recovered from it: Petrus, Vita Ioannicii 46-47. Possibly a nun; cf. Sabas, Vita Ioannicii 12 (referring to two nuns, mother and daughter, which may refer to the same incident; see Anonyma 59). They apparently lived in the district known as Kondouria, and used to visit Mt Olympus in Bithynia.
