Anonymus 755 was a self-confessed murderer, who sought refuge in church; later he admitted his crime before the patriarch of Constantinople (unnamed) and was sent by him to perform the penance prescribed by the canons, i.e. twenty years' exclusion from the sacraments, in the monastery at Komai under the guidance of the hegoumenos Ioannes 527; he went bearing a letter from Ignatius the Deacon (Ignatios 9) to Ioannes 527 explaining his case, in which Ignatios 9 hints that Ioannes 527 use his discretion to decide whether the man really needed to fulfil the full term of his penance: Ignatius Diac., Ep. 16.
