After looking at the last of the scanned pages at the site John mentioned - the one with Fr Ignatios' signature and seal - I'm curious, to say the least. The signature and seal definitely say Ignatios, not Agnatios, but the Monastery's own website lists the superior there as Fr Agnatios.

Also, the seal itself looks curious. While the top inscription appears to say "Hieromonk Ignatios" in Greek, and I can't read the second line except for "twn" which is definitely Greek, the line under the cross looks like "P.O. Box 10024" or "P.O. Box 16024" in English, and the last line, while very difficult to make out, looks like it might start with "East Jerusalem" - again, in English. Odd linguistic mix, if that is indeed the case, but since I don't know what such a seal should look like, and can't be sure of my reading anyway, it's all speculation on my part.

In Christ,
Michael
