Anonymus 41 was an unnamed komes (ὁ κόμης) who attempted to prevent the "Macedonians" (Byzantines carried away captive in 813 by the Bulgar ruler Krum 1 and living under the Bulgars north of the Danube) from crossing the river (i.e. the Danube) to return to the empire; he was defeated by them, under Kordyles 1 and Tzantzes 1: Leo Gramm. 232, Georg. Mon. Cont. 818. Probably he was the local Bulgar commander or governor, possibly a tarkhan (cf. Browning, Byzantium and Bulgaria, p. 125).
