About Faiyum

Middle Egypt is where Faiyum is. At 62 miles southwest of Cairo, in the Faiyum Oasis, it is the capital of the modern Faiyum Governorate. It is 100 kilometres (62 miles) southwest of Cairo. It is one of the oldest cities in Egypt because it is in a good place. Archaeological evidence shows that people lived around the Fayum at least as far back as the Epipalaeolithic. When Gertrude Caton Thompson and Elinor Wight Gardner did their work, they excavated many Neolithic and Epipalaeolithic sites and did a general survey of the area. This is where most of their work was done. In the last few years, a team from the UCLA/RUG/UOA Fayum Project has been looking at the area again. This is what Roger S. Bagnall says: People started living there in the fifth millennium BC, and a settlement called Shedet was built by the Old Kingdom (c. 2686–2181 BC) (Medinet el-Fayyum). It was the most important place where the crocodile god Sobek was worshipped. It was called Koin Greek: o Soûkhos, and then Latin: Suchus. People called it "Crocodile City" in Greek because of that. Crocodile City was later translated into Latin as "Crocodile City." This is how it was said: Petsuchos, "the son of Soukhos," was a tame sacred crocodile in the city. It had gold and gem pendants on its neck. It lived in a special pond at the temple and was fed by the priests with food that people brought. When Petsuchos died, another was put in its place. Euergétis (Greek: ) was the name of the city for a while under the Ptolemaic Kingdom. As a tribute to his sister-wife Arsinoe II (316–270 or 268), Ptolemy II Philadelphus renamed the city Arsino and the whole nome Arsinoe. She was made a god after her death as part of the Ptolemaic cult of Alexander the Great. He also built a town called Philadelphia on the edge of Faiyum. It was made to look like a typical Greek city. There were private homes, palaces, baths, and a theatre. At that time, when Rome was in charge, Arsino was a city in the province of Arcadia Aegypti. Because there were other cities with the same name, they called it "Arsino in Arcadia" to make it stand out. This changed when Christianity came to the area. It became a bishopric, a suffragan of Oxyrhynchus, the capital of the province, and a see. Several bishops of Arsino are named in Michel Le Quien's book. Almost all of them are linked to some kind of heresy or another. The Catholic Church says that Arsino in Arcadia is no longer a bishopric that lives there, so it lists it as a titular bishopric. For six years from 619 to 629, the governor of Sasanian Egypt lived in Fayyum. In the 10th century, Saadia Gaon was studying the Bible and thought that the ancient city of el-Fayyum was actually Pithom, which is mentioned in Exodus 1:11. As far as we know, this is the most detailed government survey from the mediaeval Arab world. It was done by Ab 'Amr 'Uthman Ibn al-Nbulus.
