Peter of Kallinikos - ܦܛܪܘܣ ܏ܓ ܩܠܘܢܝܩܝܐ

http://syriaca.org/johnofephesus/persons/75
Peter was a Syrian monastic who was ordained miaphysite patriarch of Antioch in 581 when Paul of Antioch was still alive, as reported in Joh. Eph., EH 4.45. Because of his communion with the Chalcedonians in the early 570s, Paul had lost much of his authority and large parts of the Syrian miaphysites did not recognise him anymore. Peter owed his accession to the episcopal throne to Damian of Alexandria, yet in the mid-580s, the two bishops fell out because of questions related to trinitarian theology. The ensuing schism between the miaphysite sees of Alexandria and Antioch lasted until 616.15
