Tornikina Anna Person Issuer of the donation deed for the Pantokrator Monastery on the Holy Mount Athos from August 1358. She was married to the Pinkernes Demetrios Tornikes and therefore held the title of Pinkernissa. She was probably the daughter of Parakoimomenos Andronikos Kantakuzenos. Her offsprings were Ioannes Kantakuzenos, Andronikos Tornikes, Maria Tornikina and Eirene Tornikina. She owned a domain at Beltzista in the region of Zabaltia. She became the domain as a dowry from her father. This property was in 1358 in the hands of the Serbs. She promised a half of her possession to the Pantokrator Monastery in August 1358, because their founders, Megas Stratopedarches Alexios and Megas Primikerios Ioannes, were succesfull in reconquering the land from the Serbs in the area between Christupolis and the mouth of the Strymon. Anna Tornikina expected that they could also recover her domain.
