Primacy of Peter
The primacy of Peter, also so-called as Petrine primacy from a Latin: Petrus, "Peter", is a position of preeminence that is attributed to Peter among the Twelve Apostles.
Eastern Orthodox view
The Eastern Orthodox Church regards the Apostle Peter, as well as the Apostle Paul, as "preeminent apostles". Another title used for Peter is Coryphaeus, which could be translated as "Choir-director," or lead singer.
Orthodox scholars undertake John Chrysostom and the Byzantine tradition in seeing Peter as the icon of the episcopate with his title of protos first implying alevel of rule over the other apostles. In this traditional Orthodox and Patristic view, the church is the local Eucharistic assembly "the diocese" in today's terminology and the one who holds the "Chair of Peter" Cyprian's expression is the bishop. As a result, the primacy of Peter is relevant to the relationship between the bishop and the presbyters, non between the bishop of Romeand the other bishops who are all equally holding Peter's chair.
