St Peter of Alexandria, NPNF II.14; summary

Chapter 1

The fourth Easter from the beginning of the persecution was now come; and orders, that they who did not fall till after they had endured severe torments, and have already been “Mourners” three years, after forty days’ fast, are to be admitted to communion, although they have not been before received [to penance].2

Notes

  1. According to Johnson, St. Peter of Alexandria was martyred a.d. 311 in the persecution in the time of Diocletian, carried on by Maximian.
  2. In Beveridge will be found Balsamon’s and Zonaras’s notes.
