 CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Eastern Churches
There is now only one bishop of Abyssinia (there were once two) who is called Abuna (Our Father) and resides at Adeva (the old see of Axum).
He is always a Coptic monk consecrated and sent by the Coptic patriarch.
It does not seem, however, that there is now much communication between Cairo and Adeva, though the patriarch still has the right of deposing the Abuna.

 From Beyond the Mists
In the two chief Irish MSS., the Book of the Dun Cow and the Book of Leinster, the Tuatha De Danann are described as `gods
and not-gods'; and Sir John Rhys considers this an ancient formula comparable with the Sanskrit deva and adeva, but not with `poets (dée) and husbandmen (an dée)' as the author of Cóir Anmann learnedly guessed.
It was thus they used to be believed in.
