Parish priest
I just phoned the local Coptic Diosese of Brisbane.
The hierarchy is as follows:
أبونا - Father
قمص - Head of the Parish
مطران - Bishop
البابا - The Pope in Alexandria

Comment: "Thanks, Sam, for your search... although I saw 2 different Internet sites (one of them by the Coptic Church) in which the term was used simply as "priest." But I guess "parish priest" should work too, per your first-hand Coptic source."

Seems to be the msot likely guess, as there is no word in any of the following dictionaries (Sakhr, al-Mawrid and Ectaco) such as قمص in this context.
