| Summary: | The text of a funerary stele, broken and reused in the architecture of the main entrance of the ecclesial complex of the monastery in Bawit, mentions the Persians twice. According to the context, they appear to be responsible for the death of two brothers, whose at least one was a monk. Directly linked here to Middle Egypt, the reference to the Persian Sassanid occupation in the first half of the 7th century (619-629) is rare enough to be emphasized. This historical episode, which seems to have been as violent as it was brief, has left very few tangible traces; after restoring the almost complete text of this curious epitaph, the article aims to explain its presence in such a context and to find parallels. |
