Saint disambiguation

The saints "Maximos" and "Domatios" were added a long time ago by an anonymous user. They seem to be hard to verify. I've found one man, Archbishop Maximus I of Constantinople, who (according to our article) for a time was "banished to the Oasis"; and another reference stating that Beheira is one of the places which sometimes are called "The Oasis". However, this is a bit flimsy; and, while the (self-styled??) Archbishop Maximus may not have been more quarrulous than some other 'Church fathers' from the same time, who nevertheless now are considered as saints, there is no hint of a sainthood being considewred for this Maximus. I cannot find any "Domatios" at all, and unhappily I di not know what the proper anglicisation of Domatios is. JoergenB (talk) 19:46, 22 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Skete vs Sketis

A note(that I will also place at the Skete talk page somewhat expanded):
I've corrected-edited or added the accent mark on skete and sketis in (polytonic) Greek;but based on Greek dictionaries (e.g.1) the former is probably wrong when used in the sense written in this article cause only the latter word dating from the Hellenistic period is of the toponym, i.e. the name of the Aegyptian place-desert, while the former word was derived in Greek in medieval times from the latter denoting the monastic-ascetic meaning.An alternative also btw attested form of Sketis (Σκῆτις) in Greek (according to this) is Skitis (Σκίτις)...Thanatos|talk 09:11, 4 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

@Johnsoniensis undid an addition by @AnonSooner19 . The link added is to an academic site that contains entries about the Wadi Natrun. What is the problem with this addition? I would like to revert the undo. Thank you. Ctschroeder (talk) 22:01, 25 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
