damallu, town in the Delta in the province of Minufiyyah. The only reference to Damallu in Christian-Arabic literature is in the history of the patriarchs, where it is related that during the patriarchate of cyril ii (1078-1092) a bedouin entered the Church of Saint George in Damallu and attacked the icon of the saint, whereupon Saint George slew him.
