Antonios 42 was patrikios; close to a depot belonging to the docks at Constantinople he owned a house with a Church of the Theotokos attached; during the regency of the empress Theodora 2 he restored the church, which had been stripped of its icons during the iconoclast period, and also built small baths there; miraculous cures allegedly occurred at these baths and he granted permission for weekly baths to take place there in response to requests from some devout persons; at his death he bequeathed the baths and the other buildings to them: Synax.
