Antonios 36 was hegoumenos of the monastery of the Auletes, he was the addressee of a letter from Theodore the Stoudite (Theodoros 15), written between 816 and 818; this was the second letter written to him by Theodoros 15 (the first is not extant); he was a supporter of the veneration of icons and is praised by Theodoros 15 for his firmness in the face of persecution; almost alone among hegoumenoi at or near Constantinople he stood firm for the faith (ἐκ πάντων μικροῦ δεῖν τῶν ἐν ἄστει καὶ πρὸ τοῦ ἄστεως ἡγουμένων σὺ μόνος ἐξῆλθες προκινδυνεύων τῆς εὐσεβείας); he is addressed as ἄνθρωπε τοῦ Θεοῦ, πάτερ τίμιε and ὁσιώτατε πάτερ: Theod. Stud., Ep. 201 (addressed Ἀντωνίῳ ἡγουμένῳ <τῶν> Αὐλητοῦ). Perhaps identical with the unnamed hegoumenos of the monastery of the Auletes (ὁ τοῦ Αὐλητοῦ καθηγούμενος) mentioned in a letter of Theodoros 15 written in 809 who had been making false statements about Sabas 4 and Theoktistos 4: Theod. Stud., Ep. 38. Possibly a successor of Theoktistos 4; cf. Fatouros 182*, n. 139.
