Anonymus 600 was a poor man (ἄνθρωπος πένης) who owned a small piece of land (τὸ γήδιον); this was stolen from him by Damianos 16, who also inflicted a beating on him; when Anonymus 600 appealed to the patriarch Photius (Photios 1), Photios 1 wrote two letters asking Damianos 16 to return the land; Photios 1 mentions his friends (Anonymi 21) in the second letter: Photius, Epp. 109, 113 (I 149, 151 Laourdas-Westerink).
