Revision as of 16:16, 27 December 2011

Adams 2010, 51 (Qasr Ibrim: The Earlier Medieval Period) notes, "One ecclesiastical history speaks of seven bishoprics in the united kingdom of Makouria and Nobadia... but only five cathedrals have been identified archaeologically. They are Philae, Qasr Ibrim, Gebel Adda, Faras [Faras West], and Old Dongola." The ecclesiastical history in question cites a manuscript in the possession of the bishop of Assiut in the 1670s, which named the seven sees as Kourte, Ibrim, Faras, Dongola, Sai, Termus and Scienkur. See el-Shaheed 1998, 14 for discussion of other Nubian see: Vansleben (1677) includes six from "Albadia" (Alwa?), namely Borra, Gugara, Martin, Arodias, Banazi and Menkesa, and four from "Niexamitis" (?), namely soper, Coucharin, Takchi and Amankul.
