Qiman Al-Arus
Qiman al-Arus (Arabic: قمن العروس, Coptic: ⲧⲕⲉⲙⲏⲛ, Ancient Greek: Κομά, Komá) is a village in the Beni Suef Governorate of Egypt.
The city's name comes from Ancient Egyptian: Tꜣ-jꜣd.t-kꜣ-mn, lit. 'the-field-of-the-lasting(?)-bull'.
It is famed as the birthplace of St. Anthony, whose hagiography claimed his family was wealthy and owned sizable estates in the area in the early 3rd century AD.
