  Peter of Sebaste - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Peter of Sebaste (ca. 340‑391) was a bishop, taking his usual name from the city of his bishopry, Sebaste in Armenia.
Shortly after his brother's elevation to the episcopal See of Caesarea, Peter received from him priestly ordination, but subsequently, withdrawing from active affairs, resumed the life of a solitary ascetic.
About 380‑381 he was elevated to the See of Sebaste in Armenia and, without displaying any literary activity, took his stand beside his brothers Basil and Gregory in their fight against the Arian heresy (Theodoret, "H.E.", IV, xxvii).
