ABOUT the same time, as soon as the Emperor Valens left
Antioch, all those who had anywhere been suffering persecution began
again to take courage, and especially those of Alexandria. Peter
returned to that city from Rome, with letters from Damasus the Roman
bishop, in which he confirmed the 'homoousian' faith, and sanctioned
Peter's ordination. The people therefore resuming confidence,
expelled Lucius, who immediately embarked for Constantinople: but
Peter survived his re-establishment a very short time, and at his
death appointed his brother Timothy to succeed him.
