Anonymus 6 was khagan of the Avars (ὅ τε Χαγάνος τῶν Ἀβάρων) in 678/679; after the Romans defeated the Arabs and concluded an advantageous treaty with them, he made peace with the Romans: Theoph. AM 6169, Nic. Brev. de Boor 33, Mango 34. Perhaps identical with the Khagan of the Avars who allowed Bulgars to settle in Pannonia under his overlordship (see Anonymus 7): Theoph. AM 6171, Nic. Brev. de Boor 34, Mango 35. Cf. also Anonymus 308.
