Longinus was a miaphysite priest from Alexandria. He was made bishop of the Nobades, a people in Nubia, soon after the death of Theodosius of Alexandria in 566, and travelled there to convert this people to Christianity, as is recorded in Joh. Eph., EH 4.8. In 575, he returned to Egypt and consecrated the abbot Theodore as patriarch of Alexandria. After attempting to mediate in the dispute between Paul and Jacob in Syria, he returned to Nubia and converted the people of Alodia.
