Peter the Fuller, thrice deposed from the see of Antioch, is again placed on the throne of Antioch by Zeno on his signing the Henoticon in 485 (Theophanes p. 115; Theodorus Lector p. 569; Evagr.

H. E. iii.

16).

He at once resumes his zealous career, expelling Chalcedonian bishops who refuse to sign the Henoticon and performing ordinations not recognized by Chalcedonians, especially that of the Xenaias (Philoxenus) to the see of Hierapolis (Theophanes p. 115).

He is condemned and anathematized by a synod of forty-two Western bishops at Rome in 485, and excommunicated.

He will retain, however, the patriarchate at Antioch until his death in 488 (or according to Theophanes, 490 or 491).

One of his last acts is to be the unsuccessful revival of the claim of the see of Antioch to the obedience of Cyprus as part of the patriarchate, which the First Council of Ephesus had removed from Antioch's supervision in 431.
