Nitria (also called the Mountain of Nitria or Petoou Mpihosm in Greek and Latin sources) is one of the earliest Christian monastic sites in Egypt and is located in the Nitrian Desert.[1] It was the first of the three major centers of Christian monastic activity in the Lower Egypt, the other two being Kellia and Scetis.[1]
