Peter the Iberian (400–491)

Born 400 CE, died 491 CE.

Peter the Iberian (Georgian: პეტრე იბერი, romanized: p'et're iberi) (c. 417–491) was a Georgian royal prince, theologian and philosopher who was a prominent figure in early Christianity and one of the founders of Christian Neoplatonism. Some have claimed that he is the author known conventionally as Pseudo-Dionysius the Areopagite. His accomplishments include founding the first Georgian monastery in Bethlehem and becoming the bishop of Maiuma near Gaza. The oldest Georgian Bir el Qutt inscriptions mention Peter with his father.
