Peter’s slaves, namely the spearmen who carried him around in his litter, went so far in their hate for him that they made many secret attempts on his life.
As Peter knew that it was through the activities of the demons that their plans failed to remain secret, he took John to the coffer where the bones of the holy martyrs were laid.
Learning that the blessed Peter was also there, the people hurried to the spot where he was living and carried him on their shoulders to the Kaisarion, where the populace was assembled.

Peter the Iberian, or Peter of Iberia, (Georgian: პეტრე იბერი, Petre Iberi) (A.D. ca 411-491) was a prominent Georgian (Iberian) theologian and one of the leaders of anti- Chalcedonian movement in the Eastern Roman Empire.

Between 1942-1952, professors Shalva Nutsubidze (Georgia, 1888-1969) and Ernest Honingmann (Belgium, 1892-1954) developed a well-known theory identifying Peter the Iberian with Pseudo-Dionysius the Areopagite.

Georgian Professor Shalva Nutsubidze (1888-1969) and Belgian Professor Ernest Honigmann (1892-1954) have published research that argue for the identity of Pseudo-Dionysius the Areopagite and Peter the Iberian (Theory of Nutsubidze-Honigmann, 1942-1952).

Saint Peter took him to a high place and showed him a great light in the heaven which resembled the sun in shape (the Father,) then a second with the traits of a Nazarene (the Son) and thirdly, the Holy Spirit.
Peter the Iberian resisted Juvenal's attempts to ordain him, even to leaping down from the roof of the Tower of David [at Jerusalem.] But the Lord kept him safe: he landed on his feet.

 BOOK REVIEW: C. Horn - Jan-Eric Steppa, John Rufus and the World Vision of Anti-Chalcedonian Culture.
Since Rufus’s authorship of the three works discussed, i.e., the Life of Peter the Iberian, the Commemoration of the Death of Theodosius, and the Plerophories, is not unanimously held in modern-day scholarship (e.g., Orlandi), at least an acknowledgement of those dissenting views would have been in place.
Rufus’s construction of a connection between Peter the Iberian and Peter of Alexandria also intends to join the leader of ascetics in Palestine with the famous leader of the Church in Egypt, as Steppa points out.
In that case, retrospectively, the important connecting moment between Peter the Iberian and Peter of Alexandria (beyond the latter’s prominent role as martyr, which opens up yet another field of reference and influence) is their common apostolic namesake.

 Mount Nebo
The pilgrim Egeria (end of the fourth century A.D.) and Peter the Iberian bishop of Maiumas of Gaza Peter (fifth century A.D.) relate in great detail their visits to the Memorial church of Moses on Mount Nebo in Arabia.
Peter the Iberian took the same road in search of a cure for his afflictions.
The discovery in Arezzo (Italy) of the Egerias' memoirs, published by Professor F. Gamurrini of the University of Rome in 1886, and the subsequent discovery of the Syriac biography of Peter the Iberian in 1895, were decisive in the historical identification of the Memorial of Moses visited by the pilgrims with the ruins of Siyagha.

So also in the other sees of the patriarchate orthodox bishops were expelled and Monophysites (such as Peter the Iberian at Majuma-Gaza) were set up in their place.
John III's successor, Peter, held a synod in September, 536, in which he proclaimed his adherence to Chalcedon and Orthodoxy by agreeing to the deposition of the Monophysite Anthimus of Constantinople (deposed in that year; the Acts of this synod are in Mansi, VIII, 1163-1176).

At the same time he received into com­munion Peter the Iberian, his old comrade in the monastery in Palestine, who had retained the more rigid Monophysite views which had marked the early years of Severus himself, and continued out of communion with the more moderate Mono-physites of Alexandria who had received the He­noticon.
He is especially charged, in conjunction with Peter of Apameia, with having engnged a 4< band of Jewish robbers," and placing them in ambush for a company of three hundred and fifty of the orthodox, who were all slain, and their limbs left unburied and scattered about the road.
Many of the bishops of Severus's patriarchate fled from their sees, others were ba­nished, and others apparently were compelled to conceal their real sentiments.

 Peter the Venerable's Journey to Spain
Peter accepted it, we may legitimately conclude from a principal accomplishment of his trip, as the opportunity to secure from Alfonso, in the midst of Cluny's extreme financial distress, a settlement of the unpaid annual subsidy granted the Burgundian abbey in perpetuity by the Emperor's grandfather, Alfonso VI.
Peter does not say that he collected the information concerning Berengarius' election in Galicia, even though his language might suggest that only there could he have found so great a cloud of witnesses; nor do the known diplomas of any Gallegan dependency of Cluny, including Budiño, attest his actual presence.
I take this to mean that Peter is expressing gratitude to his devoted friend, the archbishop of Bordeaux, who served as Cluny's protector during the Spanish journey, and to whom Peter entrusted all Cluny's houses, an office Geoffrey discharged with great fidelity according to his own account and the witness of the monks of Cluny.

This was a phenomenon beginning in the times of James I and enduring in the reign of his son, Peter III, both of whom provided their Almogavars, through their constant campaigning, with ample opportunities for plunder and glory.
James and Peter fielded Almogavars precisely because the undeveloped economy of Catalonia-Aragon could scarcely afford the highly costly expense of fielding knights and squires.
The death of Peter III in 1285 ushered in a new age, which would be characterized more by internal disputes and foreign wars than the astounding successes made possible by the Almogavars in his reign and that of his father.

Noteworthy in this context is the conclusion arrived at by the Western Kartvelologist Michael van Esbroeck as the result of a study of the biography of Peter the Iberian.
He believes that in the last period of his life Peter the Iberian may have altered his religious position in favour of Diophysitism, and hence his views may have been adopted and brought together as an Areopagitic corpus under the authoritative name of the Apostle, mainly in Ortodox rather than Monophysite circles.

Peter the Iberian is an important figure in the period just after Chalcedon.
The biographer of Peter the Iberian was John Rufus, one of the friends of St Severus, and this volume by Cornelia Horn draws extensively on his writings, and seeks to uncover some of the environment in which John Rufus wrote, and the purpose to which his writings were put.
But the value of this study is greatly increased by her consideration of Peter’s place as a member of Georgian aristocracy, and by her drawing on the archaeological and wider written record to place Peter the Iberian in his context.

the illustrious Peter the Iberian did not return to Gaza ; and he did not at all agree with this faction, but he was warmly attached to Timothy, and he proved that his conduct and actions were in conformity with the will of God.
As a footnote to the historical context of St Timothy’s life it should be noted with some disappointment and even shame that many of the bishops who had signed the Encyclical, stating that they were not acting under compulsion, now wrote to the new Emperor claiming that their agreement had been entirely due to necessity.
