Sidi Salem

Sidi Salem (سيدي سالم) is a city in the Kafr El Sheikh Governorate, Egypt.

The medieval Arabic and Coptic scholars identified the city with ancient Phragonis (ⲡⲉⲣⲟⲩⲱⲓⲛⲓ, Φραγωνις, الفراجون), although the archeological findings point out to Kom al-Khawaled 7 kilometers east of Sidi Salem.

Valentinus, an early Gnostic Christian theologian and founder of the Valentinianism, was believed to be native to Phragonis.
