πατὴρ Ἥρων Παώπεως καὶ ὁ τοῦ Πολίωνος κατὰ πατέρα πάππος Σαραπᾶς καὶ ὁ τῆς Μελ̣ανοῦτος κατὰ μητέρα πάπος Πουῆρις Παώπεως
On the existence of a leader of the Manichaean Church with the title "Pope" spelled Πάπος:Moschos relays the subsequent exchange in Theodore’s own voice as follows: “I asked him, ‘Who are you, my lord? How do you wish to be announced?’ He replied, ‘I am Leo, Pope of Rome.’ So I went in and announced, ‘The most holy and blessed Leo, Primate of the Church of the Romans, wishes to pay you his respects.’ As soon as Pope Eulogios heard, he got up and came running to meet him. They embraced each other, offered a prayer, and sat down.” Καὶ λέγω αὐτῷ· Τίς εἶ, δέσποτα; Πῶς κελεύεις ἵνα µηνύσω; Αὐτὸς ἀποκριθεὶς λέγει µοι· Ἐγώ εἰµι Λέωνὁ πάπας Ῥώµης. Εἰσελθὼν οὖνἐγὼ ἐµήνυσα, λέγων· Ὁ ἁγιώτατος καὶ µακαριώτατος πάπος Λέων Ἐκκλησίας Ῥωµαίων πρόεδρος προσκυνῆσαι ὑµᾶς θέλει. Ὡς οὖν ἤκουσεν ὁ πάπας Εὐλόγιος, δροµαίως ἀναστὰς ὑπήντησεν αὐτῷ· καὶ ἀσπασάµενοι ἀλλήλους καὶ εὐχὴν ποιήσαντες ἐκαθέσθησαν. Pope Leo goes on to commend Eulogios of Alexandria for his defense of Leo’s doctrinal statements. John Moschos, Pratum Spirituale 148 in PG 87/3, 3012.35–42; trans.

Footnote from9 Alexander of Lycopolis, Tract. Man. 1-2 (Van der Horst and Mansfeld, 52 altered): οὐ πάλαι μὲν ἐπεπόλασεν ἡ τούτου καινοτομία—πρῶτός γέ τις Πάπος τοὔνομα πρὸς ἡμᾶς ἐγένετο τῆς τοῦ ἀνδρὸς δόξης ἐξηγητὴς καὶ μετὰ τοῦ-τον Θωμᾶς καί τινες ἕτεροι μετ’ αὐτούς [...] Τοιάδε οὖν τις φήμη τῆς ἐκείνου δόξης ἀπὸ τῶν γνωρίμων τοῦ ἀνδρὸς ἀφίκετο πρὸς ἡμᾶς
The Greek name "Μᾶρκος" (Markos), which is equivalent to the English name Mark, can be broken down as follows:7 Lieu 2010, XX: “After the death of Mani, the first archegos was Sisinnios but he too suffered martyrdom and was succeeded by Innaios. Subsequent archegoi remained in Ctesiphon until the centre of the archdiocese was moved to the outskirts of Baghdad in the Islamic period. Later (c. 908 CE) the seat of the archegos was moved to Chorasan in Central Asia as the religion attracted increasing numbers of followers on the Silk Road”. Gardner and Lieu 2004, 24: “Until the tenth century the Twin-Cities (al-Mada’in) remained the seat of the archegos or imam. Ecclesiastical authority was mediated downwards via twelve teachers (magister), thence to the bishops (episcopus), then the elders (presbyter), and so to the general body of the elect and hearers”. Lieu 1994, 104- 105: “From An-Nadim's testimony, we know that the seat remained there until at least the end of the 8th century. “In the time of Abu Ja’far aI-Mansur (754-775), a Manichaean from Africa, Abu Hilal aI-Dayhuri became the Imam (i.e. archegos) of the sect at al-Madain (formerly Seleucia-Ctesiphon) - the traditional seat of the supreme head of the Manichaean church”. BeDuhn 1995b, 28: “At its headquarters in "Babylon" (no doubt Seleucia-Ctesiphon) resided the Manichaean "pope" […] This leader consecrated the twelve teachers, who in turn …”. file:///C:/Users/world/Downloads/1887_3188571-Chapter%202.pdf
Μ (mu) = 40
ᾶ (alpha with circumflex) = 1
ρ (rho) = 100
κ (kappa) = 20
ο (omicron) = 70
ς (sigma) = 200
Adding these values together: 40 + 1 + 100 + 20 + 70 + 200 equals 431. Therefore, the numerical value of the Greek name "Μᾶρκος" (Markos) is 431.
The name "πάπος" (papos) can be represented numerically as follows:
π (pi) = 80
ά (alpha) = 1
π (pi) = 80
ο (omicron) = 70
ς (sigma) = 200
Adding these values together: 80 + 1 + 80 + 70 + 200 = 431
So, the sum of the numerical values for the letters in the name "πάπος" is 431.
