Anonymus 752 was dioiketes of Taïon; he was the addressee of a letter from Ignatius the Deacon (Ignatios 9), then bishop of Nikaia; he had inherited from his father a piece of land which had formerly belonged to the church of Taïon and which his father had acquired after the church ceased to exist; the church had subsequently been re-established but was very poor through the loss of its estates and Ignatios 9 proposed that the property be returned to the church and registered accordingly; Ignatios 9 flatters the dioiketes, alluding to τὴν ὑμετέραν κατὰ Χριστὸν τελειότητα and τὴν μεγίστην ὑμῶν ἐπὶ συνέσει ἀγχίνοιαν and styling him ἡ ὑμετέρα ἐν Χριστῷ σύνεσις: Ignatius Diac., Ep. 17 (addressed τῷ διοικητῇ τοῦ Ταΐου).
