	St Peter of Alexandria
		Peter had control of the situation of the church, he had not left in haste; thus, the bishops continued their obedience to him and the church order was maintained (under Peter’s supervision in absentia).
		Peter may have had more than one motif for his flight: first, is probably to seek personal safety and a secure place from which to continue administering his church; and second, is to avoid provoking further actions by the authorities against the church.
		Peter was in exile twice and Melitius was arrested and sent to the mines and became a "confessor".

	Peter in Rome
		Not only does Peter in his first letter tell his readers that he is writing from "Babylon" (1 Peter 5:13), this was a first century codeword for the city of pagan Rome, but the Fathers are unambiguous in declaring that he went to Rome and was martyred there under the pagan emperor Nero.

		He was baptised by the refugee bishop Peter of Alexandria and was martyred on 9 July 308.
		Furthermore, since Peter would not have been able to ransom hostages after the outbreak of the general persecution of Christians on 23 February 303, this campaign must date to the campaign-season of either 300, 301, or 302.
		It is not unreasonable to suggest, therefore, that he may have persuaded members of the Cohors Tertia Valeria Marmaritarum to afford him temporary shelter on account of the kindness which he had earlier shown their people, and that several conversions resulted from this renewed contact, including that of the man we know now as Christopher.
