7. Of ARGOS.
There were two bishops of Argos of the name of Peter, authors of works extant in MS. or print.
The other is termed Petrus Siculus or Peter the Sicilian, and acquired his bishopric after A. D. 790.
He is probably the same person as the Petrus Siculus who was sent by the emperor Basil the Macedonian [BASILIUS I. MACEDO to Tabrica in the district or on the frontier of Melitene near the Euphrates, to negotiate an exchange of prisoners, apparently with the chiefs of the Paulicians ; a purpose which, after a residence of nine months, he effected.
