Anonymus 180 was the asekretis (ἀσηκρήτης; Theoph. AM 6259) who read out the charges against the former patriarch Constantine II (Konstantinos 4) in Hagia Sophia on 6 October 767, and struck him a blow as he read each charge: Theoph. AM 6259, cf. Nic. Brev. de Boor 75, Mango 84:4 (τινα...τῶν βασιλικῶν γραμματέων).
