ABSTRACT

In Dayr Mari Girgis, or the Monastery of St. George in Naqada (northwest of Luxor), Jacques van der Vliet and Renate Dekker observed a previously unknown Coptic inscription that mentions Apa al-Mabrat. This individual reappears in a bilingual Greek-Coptic dipinto dated a.d. 1316 in the church of Dayr al-Fakhuri, a monastery near Esna.
