Abnub is a city in the Asyut Governorate of Egypt, on the east bank of the Nile several kilometres northwest of the governorate capital Asyut. Its name ultimately comes from the Ancient Egyptian pr-nbw, which means treasury. Abnub is the birthplace of Shenouda III of Alexandria, who was Pope of the Coptic Orthodox Church from 1971 to 2012, and a church in the city bears the name of Phoibammon of Preht, a martyr of the fourth century. Wikipedia gives its population as 118,843 at the 2023 census, and the national statistics table lists the same figure as the official estimate for July 2023, up from 56,480 at the 1996 census.
