Anonymus 67 was an iconoclast, who for many years had been severely paralysed and unable to speak properly; he lived on the road between Kalon Oros and Plateia Petra (in Lydia); during the reign of Leo V (Leo 15) he was brought before Peter of Atroa (Petros 34) but refused to abandon his iconoclast views and Petros 34 therefore refused to cure him; Anonymus 67 then abandoned iconoclasm and was cured; Anonymus 67 returned home and later became a monk and himself gave Sabas 1 this information: Vita Petr. Atr. 24, pp. 121-123.
