Petrus I, Bishop of Pachoras


X Century
Famous Nubian hierarch. He was a miaphysite; his successor John III probably was not.

Peter began the magnificent redecoration of the Pachoras cathedral which his dyophysite successors continued.

Under construction --- far from complete! Read with caution.
