Pope Michael III of Alexandria

Pope Michael III of Alexandria

Pope Michael III of Alexandria (also known as Khail III) was the Coptic Pope of Alexandria and Patriarch of the See of St. Mark (880 - 907).

In 882, the governor of Egypt, Ahmad bin Tulun, forced Khail to pay heavy contributions, forcing him to sell a church and some attached properties to the local Jewish community. This building was at one time believed to have later become the site of the Cairo Geniza.
