Sidi Salem (Arabic: سيدي سالم) is a city in the Kafr El Sheikh Governorate, Egypt.[1]

The medieval Arabic and Coptic scholars identified the city with ancient Phragonis (Coptic: ⲡⲉⲣⲟⲩⲱⲓⲛⲓ, Ancient Greek: Φραγωνις, Arabic: الفراجون, romanized: al-Farājūn),[2] although the archeological findings point out to Kom al-Khawaled 7 kilometers east of Sidi Salem.[3]

Valentinus, an early Gnostic Christian theologian and founder of the Valentinianism, was believed to be native to Phragonis.[4]
