Encyclopedia gave Solonet as its modern name.[3]
Ptolemy describes it as only a village.[4]
An ancient guide for sailing, the Stadiasmus Maris Magni, says that there was at Zygris an islet at which it was possible to put in and find water on the shore.[5]
Bishopric
Although Zygris was only a village, it had its own bishop[6] from an early date.[7][8]
The
bishop of Alexandria over not only Egypt but also Libya (as was recognized at the First Council of Nicaea) meant that Zygris was also directly subject to the see of Alexandria.[9]
Marcus, bishop of Zygris, attended a
Robber Council of Ephesus in 349, a record of which was read at the Council of Chalcedon in 451.[11][12][13]
No longer a residential bishopric,[14][15] Zygris is today listed by the Catholic Church as a titular see.[2][16]
