John the Deacon (Egyptian chronicler) : ウィキペディア英語版 | John the Deacon (Egyptian chronicler)
John the Deacon was a Monophysite Egyptian chronicler whose ''Life of the Patriarch Michael'', finished ''c.''768–70, is the most important source for the Christian Nubia in the first half of the eighth century.〔P. L. Shinnie (1986), "Christian Nubia", ''The Cambridge History of Africa: From ''c''. 500 BC to AD 1050'', J. D. Fage and Roland Anthony Oliver, edd. (Cambridge: Cambridge University Press), 556–88.〕 The later historian Sawirus ibn al-Muqaffaʿ made heavy use of it, and although John is one of the only sources for the time and place, he is not always reliable. For instance, he records a Nubian invasion of Egypt that reached as far as Fustat in 745, after the Egyptians refused to release Michael, Patriarch of Alexandria.〔 This event appears to be a conflation of a real invasion of Upper Egypt and the imprisonment and liberation of the patriarch, made to coincide with a known period of Coptic uprisings and consequent persecution at the instigation of the Caliph Marwan II.〔 John is the only source to describe the dynastic struggles that followed the death ''c''.730 of Merkurios, whom he refers to as a "new Constantine".〔 He is the earliest source to mention thirteen kings ruling Nubia under the high king Kyriakos at Old Dongola.〔Louis V. Žabkar (1963), "The Eparch of Nubia as King", ''Journal of Near Eastern Studies'', 22(4):217–19.〕 He is also an early source for the Arab slave trade in Africans. ==Notes==
