Anonymus 765 was basilikos strator (cf. Ignatius Diac., Ep. 19, lines 11-12 τοῦ πανευφήμου ἀνδρός, τοῦ βασιλικοῦ στράτορος); he is mentioned in a letter from Ignatius the Deacon (Ignatios 9) to the bishop of Caria, Nikephoros 70, concerning his marriage contract; this had been arranged in Constantinople (where Ignatios 9 is writing the letter, cf. lines 12-13 ἐν ταύτῃ τῇ πανευδαίμονι καὶ βασιλευούσῃ πόλει) through the mediation of Nikephoros 70 and its administration left in Nikephoros 70's hands; subsequently Nikephoros 70 proposed to transfer a property from a widow (Anonyma 105) to whom legally it belonged and the strator (ὁ εἰρημένος πανεύφημος ἀνήρ) planned to appeal against this to the patriarch because, apparently, the plan contravened the terms of the marriage contract (τὰ τῆς ὑποθέσεως); he was persuaded by Ignatios 9 and a friend (a chartophylax; probably Nikephoros 71) not to do so but to allow them to contact the bishop Nikephoros 70 instead to try to persuade him not to go ahead: Ignatius Diac., Ep. 19.
