Through September 12, 2021Akmim is not forgotten by PaleoJudaica. I have noted that it was the site of the discovery of an important Greek manuscript containing material from the Book of 1 Enoch, the Gospel of Peter, and the Apocalyse of Peter. See here, here, and here. I have also noted the work of the Akhmim Mummy Studies Consortium here. For other events in the vicinity of late-antique Akhmim, see here. And for more on the alchemist Zosimus of Panopolis (another name for Akhmim), see here.
