[3498] Perhaps the same as the Panopolite or Chemmite nome, which had for its chief town Chemmis or Panopolis. It paid divine honours to a deified hero.
[3499] It probably worshipped Typhon. Its capital was Antæopolis.
[3500] Probably an offshoot from a nome in the Heptanomis of similar name.
[3501] Dedicated to the worship of the wolf. Its chief town was Lycopolis. It should be remarked that these names do not appear to be given by Pliny in their proper geographical order.
[3502] Some of these nomes were inconsiderable and of little importance. The Bubastite nome worshipped Bubastis, Artemis, or Diana, of whom it contained a fine temple.
[3503] Its chief town was Tanis. In this nome, according to tradition, Moses was born.
[3504] Its capital was Athribis, where the shrew-mouse and crocodile were worshipped.
[3505] The seat of the worship of the dog-headed deity Anubis. Its capital was Cynopolis; which is to be distinguished from the Deltic city and other places of that name, as this was a nome of the Heptanomis or Middle Egypt, to which also the Hammonian nome belonged.
[3506] The border nome of Upper and Middle Egypt.
[3507] Its capital was Pachnamunis. It worshipped a goddess corresponding to the Greek Leto, or the Latona of the Romans.
