Anonymus 751 was a bishop of Helenopolis; he was the addressee of a letter from Ignatius the Deacon (Ignatios 9; then bishop of Nikaia); Ignatius had hoped to meet him while on a visit to Prainetos but having failed to do so wrote to him requesting the despatch of a quantity of salt, which was produced in his locality, up to the value of twelve pieces of gold; he is styled ἡ ὑμετέρα ὁσιότης and addressed as ἱερώτατε: Ignatius Diac., Ep. 13 (addressed τῷ ἐπισκόπῳ Ἑλενουπόλεως).
