E03535Coptic Martyrdom of Apa *Timotheos and his daughter Martyria (S01462), most likely taking place in the region of Hermopolis/Antinoopolis (Middle Egypt), relating the horrific tortures they endured under the governor/hegemon Arianos and the miraculous appearances of the archangels *Michael and *Gabriel (S00181and S00192) to rescue them repeatedly. Their martyrdom begins as *Paulos, Pausire, and Maria (monastic martyrs under Arianos at Antinoopolis/Hermopolis, S01847) are sentenced to death; presumably written in the 6th/7th c.
E07007Two Coptic Encomia on *Klaudios Stratelates (martyr of Alexandria and Antinoopolis, S02667), attributed to Constantine of Assiut, recount seven posthumous miracles of the saint at his shrine at Antinoopolis/Antinoe (Middle Egypt). Written in Coptic, probably at Antinoopolis, at an uncertain date, probably within the later 7th or 8th centuries.
