(I am known as Orsisius, Arsisios, Oresiesis-Heru-sa Ast, Orsiesius of Tabenna). I am the 4th century Kemetian Abbot Monk of Nile Island, Tabennisi Monastery at Tabenna, Upper Kemet. I was chosen Tabenne
abbot in 347 A.D., following Petronius. Though a
Pachomius disciple, I resigned for Theodorus (Theodore the Sanctified), Pachomius' favorite to replace me. I finally succeeded on the advice of St. Athanasius, becoming hegumen. I helped Pachomius establishing his monasteries rule(s). 15 June.
