Abstract | ||||
In the Coptic Synaxare, we found four monks bearing the same name “Phoibammon”. But who is the one that belongs to the monastery of al-Daīr al-Baḥrī? Burmester and Khater, supported by their historical background, were able to exclude two names that were not famous at all. That leaves us with other two monks bearing the same name. | ||||
