Anonymus 60 was the nephew of an unnamed hypatos (Anonymus 65); troubled by demons, he was supposedly recovering under the influence of Peter of Atroa (Petros 34) but then he left to take part in the civil war and joined the army of Thomas 7; he took part in the siege of Constantinople, but had a vision in which SS. Cosmas and Damian appeared to him and he left and returned to Petros 34, who cured him; he himself gave the story to Sabas 1 later on, under oath; described as tall and strong: Vita Petr. Atr. 36, pp. 141-143. The date was probably 823. Perhaps identical with Niketas 51.
