Peter (Syriac: Peṭrūs or Peṭrā) was the bishop of Apamea from at least 514/515 until his removal in 519.
[2] He sent a force of Isaurians (probably mercenary soldiers) to subdue the Monastery of Saint Maron, which had evidently rebelled against his authority and may have been threatening violence themselves.
[4] On 10 February 518, Peter was anathematized by Pope Hormisdas in a letter to the clergy, deacons and monastic leaders of Syria Secunda.
[1] The legality of this council is questionable, since it involved the deposition of their superior by a group of inferior clergy.
[10] The Emperor Justinian I issued a novella condemning Peter as a heretic on 8 August 536.
