His name was John Abu al-Majd ibn Abu Ghaleb ibn Sawiris (يوحنا أبو المجد بن أبو غالب بن سويرس).
It was said that he was a widower, and after his wife's death he chose to remain celibate.
He proscribed a canon that a church could not accept a priest unknown to them without having a consent statement from his bishop.
He was buried in the Church of the Darag (كنيسة الدرج) under the tomb of Pope Zakharias, the 64th Coptic Patriarch (1004–1032 AD).
[1] He was the last Pope of the Coptic Orthodox Church of Alexandria to consecrate a bishop for Western Pentapolis, as the people converted to Islam under the rule of the Arabs.
