Habtemichael Kidane (2024, p. 336, n. 336) is clearly mistaken in assuming that the malkəʾ is for Philip the Apostle, when the repeated references to the baptism of the Ethiopian eunuch (Acts 8:26–40) indicate that it must be for Philip the Deacon, one of the Seven Deacons and one of the Seventy-Two Disciples. This is confirmed in 23.3–4, which mentions Philip alongside Moses (i.e., the “Man of God”), ʾAragāwi, and Gabra Krəstos (Alexius), all commemorated together on 14 Ṭəqəmt. The final stanza (also 23.5) tells us that its use was intended for the consecration of a church to Philip in Ethiopia on “the feast of the Virgin [Mary] in the sixth month [i.e. Yakkātit]”, suggesting either 16 or 21 Yakkātit.
