CAlandio Bishop of Antioch wrote vnto Zeno the Emperour and vnto Acacius Bishop of Constantinople that Peter was not onely an adulterer but also had accursed the councel of Chalcedon at his beinge in Alexandria. Yet afterwardes this Calandio was banished into Oasis for holdinge with Ilus, Leo and Pampreps, against Zena. Peter sirnamed Cnapheus who was Bishop of Antioch before Calandio & Stephan, recouered his bishopricke againe, subscribed vnto Zenos Epistle of Concorde & wrote synodall letters vnto Peter Moggus Bishop of Alexandria. Acacius Bishop of Constantinople was afterwardes reconciled vnto this Peter, Martyrius like∣wise Bishop of Ierusalem wrote synodall letters vnto him. Yet afterwardes diuers withdrewe thē selues from Peters communion and therevpon it fell out that Peter openly accursed the councell of Chalcedon. Acacius Bishop of Constantinople hearing of this was very sory, wrote vnto diuers of his friends for to vnderstand the trueth: Peter be••nge desirous to satisfie them to the vttermost, wrot backe againe to purge him selfe that he had cōmitted no such act, yet some doe reporte y^• they knewe certainly that Peter wrote no such thing.
