Peter of Nicomedia
Cyclopedia of Biblical, Theological and Ecclesiastical Literature
or an Eastern ecclesiastic, was born in the early part of the 7th century. He was one of the prelates who, with certain deacons and monks, had to clear themselves in the third Constantinopolitan, or sixth oecumenical, council (A.D. 680), from the suspicion of holding the Monothelite heresy, by oath and solemn written confessions of their belief in the orthodox doctrine of two wills in Christ. The confessions were of considerable length, and all exactly alike, and are given in the original Greek with a considerable hiatus; but completely iin a Latin version in the Acta Concilii CPolitani III, Actio 10.; or, according to one of the Latin versions of the A cta given by Hartiouin, in Actio 9. See Concilia, volume 6, col. 784, 842, ed. Labbd; volume 3, col. 1202, 1248, 1537, 1561, ed. Hardouin; Cave, Hist. Litt. ad ann. 680, 1:595.
