+## Abstract
+
+This meta-EIP specifies the changes included in the Ethereum hardfork that removes [EIP-1283](./eip-1283.md) from [Constantinople](./eip-1013.md).
+
+## Specification
+
+- Codename: Petersburg
+- Aliases: St. Petersfork, Peter's Fork, Constantinople Fix
+- Activation:
+ - `Block >= 7_280_000` on the Ethereum mainnet
+ - `Block >= 4_939_394` on the Ropsten testnet
+ - `Block >= 10_255_201` on the Kovan testnet
+ - `Block >= 9_999_999` on the Rinkeby testnet
+ - `Block >= 0` on the Görli testnet
+- Removed EIPs:
+ - [EIP 1283](./eip-1283.md): Net gas metering for SSTORE without dirty maps
+
+If `Petersburg` and `Constantinople` are applied at the same block, `Petersburg` takes precedence: with the net effect of EIP-1283 being _disabled_.
+
+If `Petersburg` is defined with an earlier block number than `Constantinople`, then there is _no immediate effect_ from the `Petersburg` fork. However, when `Constantinople` is later activated, EIP-1283 should be _disabled_.
+
+## References
+
+The list above includes the EIPs that had to be removed from Constantinople due to a [potential reentrancy attack vector](https://medium.com/chainsecurity/constantinople-enables-new-reentrancy-attack-ace4088297d9). Removing this was agreed upon at the [All-Core-Devs call #53 in January 2019](https://github.com/ethereum/pm/issues/70).
