Phnoum was a cenobitic monastery established by Pachomius the Great during the 4th century A.D.[1] Located near Latopolis in Upper Egypt, it was the southernmost of the nine Pachomian monasteries.[2][3]
According to the Bohairic Life of Pachomius (58),[4]: 78 the construction of the monastery created tensions between the local Egyptian pagans and the Christian monks.[2][5]
