باسم السيدة العذرآء في برية الاسقيط بمصر، يظن بنآؤه في القرن الخامس ابتاعه ماروثا التكريتي التاجر السرياني في اواسط المئة السادسة واوقفه على رهبان السريان وكان يحوي منهم سبعين راهباً عام 1084 وظلّ آهلا بهم الى منتصف المئة السابعة عشرة ويسكنه في هذا الوقت رهبان اقباط
this monastery was built in the name of the Virgin in the Scete desert in Egypt, perhaps in the fifth century. In the middle of the sixth century the Syrian merchant Marutha of Takrit bought it and dedicated it to the Syrian monks, whose number reached seventy in 1084. Inhabited by Syrian monks until the seventeenth century, it is presently inhabited by Coptic monks.
