Anonymus 593 was a messenger sent by the emperor Leo V (Leo 15) to Philomelion to take gifts of thanks to the monk there (Anonymus 57) who had foretold Leo 15's accession; Anonymus 593 discovered that the monk had died and been replaced by another monk, Sabbatios (= Symbatios 7), who gave Anonymus 593 a stern message for Leo 15 that he would soon lose his throne if he did not adopt the iconoclast policies of the emperor Leo the Isaurian (Leo III, Leo 3); the messenger reported this back to Leo 15: Genesius I 13.
