This "Simon" is often interpreted as the Apostate Paul, but we are unsure: if the Recognitions are a fight against the Marcionites, it could be that the fight is with a "Simon" who is a mentor or precedor of Marcion, such as Cerdo, as student of Simon Magus.

It has been noted that the path of Peter's travels in the Recognitions does not significantly correlate with the path of Paul's travels in Acts.

However, if we assume the "Pauline" Epistles are written by Marcion, or by a mentor or precedor of Marcion, then the exact identity of "Simon" is not very important, because the fight of Peter is with the Marcionites - be he Paul or Simon or Cerdo or...
