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." To this list we should add Sai and Kourte.


Bishops of Dongola

  • Azaros 1286
  • Georgios d. 1113 Lajtar 2002
  • Ioannes (?)
  • Keddi c. 1333
  • Louk()
  • Oualphl after 1272
  • ]ja 1976V13 (AS209 2010)


Bishops of Faras

Despite Faras's submersion following the building of the Aswan High Dam, the see is still claimed by the Coptic church's Titular Bishop of the Great and Ancient Metropolis of Nubia, who is styled Bishop of Faras of Nobatia. The current ordinary is Bishop Sarapamon (Serapis Amon).
