Anonymus 29 was the father of Konstantinos Kassimatas (i.e. Antonios 3, later patriarch of Constantinople); he was a priest and a cobbler (υἱὸν πρεσβυτέρου τινὸς τζαγγαρίου): Scriptor Incertus 350, cf. Ps.-Symeon 606. The allusion to his father's trade is meant to insult Antonios 3 as of low birth. Perhaps his father had been a cobbler who then became a priest.
