Anonyma 105 was a widow, left with her children as legal owners of a property by her late husband (Anonymus 767); this property came under threat from the bishop of Caria, Nikephoros 70, who intended to transfer it to his former son-in-law (Anonymus 766); in a letter to Nikephoros 70, Ignatius the Deacon (Ignatios 9) asked him to reconsider and allow her to remain in control of her property (δότε τόπον τῇ οἰκουρῷ καὶ δεσποίνῃ τῶν τοιούτων, ὡς ἂν βούλοιτο τὰ ἑαυτῆς διεξάγειν. αὕτη ἐπιτοπευέτω καὶ ἐπικρινέτω καὶ διαμενέτω τοῖς τέκνοις παρὰ γνησίου συνεύνου κυρία καταλειφθεῖσα ἐγκάτοχος): Ignatius Diac., Ep. 19.
