(fl. 590–620)
Abbot of the monastery of St. Phiobammon at Deir el-Bahri and Bishop of Armant. Son of Sabinus and Rebecca. He founded the monastery on the ruins of Queen Hatshepsut’s mortuary temple to replace an earlier monastery of St. Phoibammon in the nearby western desert, which had fallen in ruins. Abraham is known primarily from the many ostraca, some in his own hand, and papyri in both Greek and Coptic, which were excavated by Henri Edouard Naville at the monastic site. Both his will written in Greek and a portrait of him have survived.
