Anonymous minority (cited by Mechaber)

An unidentified halakhic authority whose dissenting opinion is recorded in the Shulchan Aruch by R' Yosef Karo (the Mechaber). This anonymous minority view represents an alternative halakhic position preserved in the early Acharonic period, reflecting the pluralistic nature of Jewish legal discourse in the 16th century. The dissenting view is cited in seif 3 of an unspecified section, demonstrating the Mechaber's practice of documenting minority opinions alongside majority rulings.
