Anonymus 306 was a monk (μοναχός) at Rhegium in Italy, where he joined Gregory the Decapolite (Gregorios 79); he narrowly escaped drowning when the ship they boarded at Rhegium for Sicily was wrecked; the prayers of Gregorios 79 are said to have rescued him: Ignatius, Vita Greg. Dec. 12. The date was probably 833 or 834, early in the persecution of iconophiles under Theophilos 5.
