The Greek word 'Nome' is often used instead of the ancient Egyptian 'Sepat', to denote a province where towns and cities were governed by an overseer or governor. Beside being numbered they also carried a title, which is listed here directly after the number.
The ancient sitename is given in bold letters, next comes the Greek sitename, given in italic letters, and lastly the modern sitename in normal letters.
Some of them are uncertain, some of them are unknown to us and then marked with a - .
A great worship center would also include the whole area around the main city so that the deity would influence also the smaller locations within it.
