Archegos (Manichaeism)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Archegos was the head of the Manichaean religion.[1] No surviving list of every Archegos remains, and the succession procedure is unknown. Abū Hilāl al-Dayhūri is the last known Archegos. The first Archegos was the prophet Mani.[citation needed]
