For refining the Synexarium

ophadece

Hi all,

This is my brief project outlining some need of refinement for the Synexarium. This article is in Arabic, so I am currently editing the English version, give me just a couple of days.

If any people including @minatasgeel know of any one who is responsible for mobile apps (e.g. Coptic Reader), or Christian websites that involve Synexarium, or Church history, they may benefit from this (well.. I hope). Please feel free to pass it on, and don't forget to pray for me.

Special thanks to Mr. @drewhalim - not sure if he comes here any more, but his discussions previously served as an inspiration for me to shed light on some aspects of dating in the Coptic Orthodox Church as in this project.

Here you go:

i have sent you a private message with more detail, but when arabic speaking people say 'apokty', they mean 'epact' (a way of calculating dates).

Hi @mabsoota,
Absolutely spot on. I am aware of the English and Greek terms, επακται ημέραι, where it was Copticised to ⲁⲡⲟⲕⲧⲏ and my aim is to spread the word Apokty to refer to the Coptic calculation as opposed to the Julian or Gregorian formula, or algorithm.. I hope this is clear..
I'd like to thank you very much for critiquing me and giving me your opinion.. That is what I am looking for..
