Peter (patriarch of Alexandria) - ܦܛܪܘܣ

http://syriaca.org/person/5132
“The majority of the miaphysite Egyptian clergy elected Peter, by then an elderly deacon, patriarch of Alexandria in c.575, according to Joh. Eph., EH 4.11. He was the successor of Theodosius, who had died in 566, and his tenure lasted for only two years. In Joh. Eph., EH 4.12 and 16, he is credited with the ordination of over 70 new bishops. His patriarchate was thus a decisive point for the formation of the independent Egyptian miaphysite (Coptic) church.” 2
