Anonymus 50 was the eparch (ὕπαρχος) before whom Theodoros 68 and Theophanes 6 were brought four days after they had been seen by the emperor Theophilos 5; they were threatened by him but remained unmoved, and he ordered that verses be engraved on their foreheads; his assessors on this occasion were Christodoulos 3 and the father of Christodoulos 3, Anonymus 635: Vita Mich. Sync. 22-23. The date of this last event was 18 July 836; see Theodoros 68. Eparch (of the city) (ὁ ὕπαρχος) under Theophilos; on orders from the emperor Theophilos 5 he inscribed verses on the foreheads of Theophanes 6 and Theodoros 68: Leo Gramm. 226, Georg. Mon. Cont. 807-808, Ps.-Symeon 641. Probably identical with Anonymus 634.
