Anonymus 636 was a spatharios (ἐκ τῶν βασιλικῶν αὐλῶν σπαθάριον οὕτω λεγόμενον) who was sent by the church council which restored the veneration of icons (in 843) together with two clergy from the council (Anonymi 27) to consult Ioannikios 2 on Mt Olympus about the choice of the next patriarch of Constantinople; they returned with his recommendation to choose Methodios 1: Vita Mich. Sync. 26.
