Gender not specified.
This is probably the same person as in Refs 700091, 700560, and 703201. On the basis of Łajtar's discussion of the attestation of the name (I. Khartoum Greek 6, comm. to ll. 6–7), Ruffini suggested that this Marturophoros may be identical with Bishop Marturophoros who died in AD 1159 (Refs 701305 and 702613), but this is far less certain.
