Petros 33 was bishop of Syllaion; he was one of a number of bishops against whom charges (unspecified) were brought and who associated with Photios 1 (the future patriarch), meeting at Photios 1's house in Constantinople and plotting against the patriarch Ignatios 1 (847-858); they were all condemned by a synod held in Constantinople: Ps.-Symeon 671. The story is part of an account which is very hostile to Photios 1 and favourable to Ignatios 1. He is probably identical with Petros 127.
