Anonymus 618 was the bishop of Eriste (ὁ μὲν τῆς Ἐριστῆς ἐπίσκοπος) who is mentioned in a letter from the patriarch Photius (Photios 1) written to the hesychast Athanasios 18; Anonymus 618 was an old man (ὁ γέρων) and a former schismatic who had been restored to the Church by the efforts of Athanasios 18: Photius, Ep. 20 (I 71 Laourdas-Westerink). The letter was written between 859 and 867. Eriste was in Bithynia; cf. Athanasios 18.
