Saint Paul the First Hermit

edited December 1969 in Coptic Orthodox Church
Can somebody please transliterate the Coptic name of this saint?

Ⲁⲃⲃⲁ Ⲡⲁⲩⲗⲉ

I know the first part is Abba, what is the second part transliterated into English?

(My Coptic is almost non-existent, but I'd like to change that).

Peace and Grace,
Antonious

    + Irini nem ehmot,

    I can't see the Coptic text, but if the subject line is any indication, then I assume what you wrote is Abba Pavly, which would translate as Abba (Father) Paul in English.

    Κηφᾶς,

    thank you for the information. Yes, it was St. Paul of Thebes whose name in Coptic I was looking for. So, Abba Pavly it is! :)

    God bless,
    Antonious

    Or Abba Bawla in the Old Bohairic pronunciation.
