The tenth day of the Coptic month of Paopi, the second month of the Coptic year. On a common year, this day corresponds to October 7, of the Julian calendar, and October 20, of the Gregorian calendar. This day marks the start of the Coptic season of Peret, the season of the Emergence, during which the flood recedes and the fields are planted.
