Cusae (Ancient Greek : Κοῦσαι or Κῶς ; Coptic : ⲕⲱⲥⲉⲓ or ⲕⲟⲥⲉⲓ )[2] Upper Egypt . Its Ancient Egyptian name was qjs (variant qsy ), conventionally rendered Qis or Kis . Today, the town is known as El Quseyya Nile in the Asyut Governorate .
History
[ edit ]
Cusae was the capital of the 14th Nome of Upper Egypt.
Middle Kingdom
[ edit ]
It was a cult centre for Hathor , and also contained a necropolis , Meir , which was used during the Middle Kingdom to hold the tombs of local aristocrats.
New Kingdom
[ edit ]
At the beginning of the reign of the Theban pharaoh Kamose , Cusae marked the boundary between the northern Hyksos realm (the 15th Dynasty ) and the southern Theban kingdom (the 17th Dynasty ).[3]
Roman Period
[ edit ]
During the 5th century, the city was the settlement of Legio II Flavia Constantia .
Bishopric
[ edit ]
The bishopric of Cusae was a suffragan of the metropolitan see of Antinoë , capital of the Roman province of Thebaid I . Achilles (or Achilleus) was ordained bishop of the see by Meletius of Lycopolis . Another, Elias, was of the 4th or 5th centuries.[4] Second Council of Constantinople (553). Later bishops took the non-Chalcedonian side, the first of them being Gregorius, who assisted Pope John II (III) of Alexandria on his deathbed.[5] [6] [7] [8]
No longer a residential bishopric, Cusae is today listed by the Catholic Church as a titular see .[9]
