The title is attested in seven inscriptions on the walls of cult places, here reedited or edited for the first time. Bearers of this title were mostly ecclesiastics, which suggests that treasuries they watched over were those of the Church. Arabic sources attest the presence of rich collections of valuable objects in Nubian churches.

This volume offers a catalogue and in-depth analysis of over two hundred funerary epigraphy monuments, inscribed in Greek and Coptic, onto stone stelae and terracotta plaques, that have been uncovered at Ghazali and that bear an important witness to life and death at the site. The meticulous epigraphic and philological work presented here is combined with a detailed discussion of the ensemble, including their archaeological context, material aspects, language use, and formulary. The analysis of onomastic practices and the monastic hierarchy supplements the picture and brings to the fore both individual persons and the community responsible for the production of these texts.
