Baanes 6 was a member of the Angorios family; Baanes 6 was a praipositos under Michael III (Michael 11); possibly in 861 he was sent with some persons described as of no account (ἄλλους δέ τινας ἐξουθενημένους Ῥωμαίους) to the exiled patriarch Ignatios 1 at Ta Poseos, to summon Ignatios 1 before the Council assembled to try him in the Church of the Holy Apostles at Constantinople in the presence of the emperor, the patriarch Photios 1 and the representatives of the bishop of Rome; they had to go back to the Council for further instructions and to return on the following day before Ignatios 1 agreed to attend: Nicetas, Vita Ignatii 517C (πρῶτον μὲν Βαάνην πραιπόσιτον, τὸν Ἀγγορὴν ἐπικαλούμενον). On the Angorios (Angures) family, see Winkelmann, Quellenstudien, p. 172. Winkelmann suggested that Baanes is confused with the praipositos Michael Angures (Michael 12). Cf. Baanes 18.
