He is widely identified with the last prefect of Egypt, Cyrus of Alexandria, who was the Greek Orthodox Patriarch of Alexandria of the second era of Byzantine Egypt (628-642).

An alternative view identifies al-Muqawqis with the governor of Sasanian Egypt, said to be a Greek man named "Kirolos, leader of the Copts", although the Sassanian governor at the time was the military leader named Shahrbaraz.

When being presented with the letter of invitation to Islam by Muhammad, he said he couldn’t risk his kingdom, therefore not accepting Islam. He sent the messenger back with several gifts, including two women, and told his servants not to say anything.

Julian Bilecki
Julian Bilecki (also written Yulian Biletskiy) (1928–2007) was a Polish farmer who helped his family save 23 Jews as a teenager during the Holocaust in Poland. Decades later, they were recognized as Righteous Among the Nations for their actions.

In 1943, nearly all the families of the Jewish community in Podhajce, Eastern Galicia, amounting to about 3,000 Jews, were slaughtered by the Nazis. A small group, many of them children and teenagers, escaped from the Podhajce ghetto on the eve of its liquidation, and survived the Nazi extermination finding their way to the Bileckis' khutor. They were then hidden in various bunkers near the Bilecki family farm for almost a year until the liberation of the area by the Red Army on March 27, 1944.

Righteous Among the Nations
Righteous Among the Nations (Hebrew: חֲסִידֵי אֻמּוֹת הָעוֹלָם ḥasidei ummot ha'olam) is an honorific used by the State of Israel to describe all of the non-Jews who, out of altruism, risked their lives in order to save Jews from being exterminated by Nazi Germany during the Holocaust. The term originates from the concept of ger toshav, a legal term used to refer to non-Jewish observers of the Seven Laws of Noah.

Recent research has complicated dominant historical narratives about rescue of Jews during the Holocaust. The vast majority of rescue was enabled by the exchange of money, goods, or services, while many survivors concealed complicating facts in applications of Yad Vashem.

Libyan-Punic Infantry
The Roman historian Livy described the Libyco-Punic infantry as mixtum Punicum Afris genus, probably taking Polybius as his source. They formed the most loyal and capable force of the Carthaginian army. By this expression, Livy meant "a Punic race mixed with Africans". The Libyco-Punics are described as people of mixed culture, half Punic and half African. A blend of Libyan and Punic culture, they lived in the Carthaginian territory in Africa, such as Utica or Hadrumetum.

Utica (/ˌjuːtɪkə/) was an ancient Phoenician and Carthaginian city located near the outflow of the Medjerda River into the Mediterranean, between Carthage in the south and Hippo Diarrhytus (present-day Bizerte) in the north. It is traditionally considered to be the first colony to have been founded by the Phoenicians in North Africa. After Carthage's loss to Rome in the Punic Wars, Utica was an important Roman colony for seven centuries.

Utica no longer exists, and its remains are located in Bizerte Governorate in Tunisia – not on the coast where it once lay, but further inland because deforestation and agriculture upriver led to massive soil erosion leading to the silting up of the Medjerda River's original mouth.
