Anonymus 697 was the hegoumenos of the monastery of Pelekete; he died in or shortly before 823, when Theodoros 15 (Theodore the Stoudite) wrote a letter to the monks of Pelekete urging them to obey his newly installed successor, Sergios 104: Theod. Stud., Ep. 501 (c. 823). He is alluded to in a later letter to Sergios 104, from which it appears that he had defected to the iconoclasts during the persecution under Leo V (Leo 15): Theod. Stud., Ep. 512. He was presumably hegoumenos in place of Makarios 9.
