Bonakis

Bonakis (died 609) was a Byzantine military commander, active in Cyrenaica (Libya) and Egypt. His name is occasionally rendered "Konakis". He joined the revolt of Heraclius against the emperor Phocas (r. 602-610) and was killed in the subsequent conflict. The main source about him is John of Nikiû, the relevant text only surviving in Ethiopian translation.
