Profile
The official Coptic Orthodox Church record identifies Bishop Boktor as the current bishop of the Diocese of Deir Mawas and Delga and records his episcopal ordination on 1 June 2025. Secondary reference material provides additional biographical details, but this archive distinguishes those published details from information independently confirmed by primary records.

The diocese was established on 13 November 1988 with the episcopal ordination of Agabius. Following Metropolitan Agabius's repose on 4 February 2025, Bishop Boktor was ordained for the diocese on 1 June 2025. This sequence forms a central part of the archive's modern diocesan timeline.
