Round 2: Tossup 10

Starting with the month of Tute, this language’s synaxarium (10[1])assigns one of its many martyr hagiographies to its daily liturgy, where it is read following a reading from Acts. Seven “prayers of the hour” are collected within the Agpeya for use within this language’s liturgy. (-5[1])Shenoute the Great (-5[1])wrote in this language as an abbot at the White Monastery. (-5[1])The Lycopolitan and Sahidic dialects of this language were used to write the Gnostic Nag Hammadi codices. (10[1])The Gospel of Judas was written in this language. (10[1])Unlike a related language’s fourteen anaphoras, this language’s liturgies are limited to ones named for Saints Cyril, Gregory, and (-5[1])Basil, which supplanted the Liturgy of St. Mark. For 10 points, Ge’ez shares a parent rite with what Demotic-derived language that names an Egyptian-based Orthodox Church? (10[3]0[1])■END■
