And he always proceeded into the palace as one of the senators. and departing as far as the monastery of Bassian he was attended as a consul; but once inside, immediately putting on a monastic goat's-hair cloak, he fulfilled the service of the kitchen and the stable and similar things. In the same year Anthimus and Timocles, the composers of troparia, were becoming known. In the same year, at the behest of an embassy from the senate of Rome, the emperor Leo sent Anthemius, the son-in-law of Marcian who had previously reigned, as emperor in Rome, a most Christian man and one who governed the empire piously for 6 years.
