Anonymus 59 was an unnamed prosmonarios (προσμονάριος) at the church of the Theotokos at Elaia in Asia, which the eleven year old Petros 34 of Atroa attended (i.e. in 784/785); annoyed by the boy's persistence Anonymus 59 tried to lock him out of the church but Petros 34 entered miraculously and the man asked the boy's pardon: Vita Petr. Atr. 3, p. 73.
