Peter served as a Byzantine ambassador whose eloquence heightened the terrors inspired by Belisarius, acting as a bold and subtle advocate who persuaded Theodatus to sign an ignominious treaty. As brother of Maurice, he was promoted beyond merit and later fled from Barbarians, soldiers, and citizens while attempting to violate the privilege of Azimuntium.
