Lycopolis or Lykopolis (Greek: Λυκούπολις, Strabo xvii. p. 802; Steph. B. s. v.; Ancient Egyptian: Škȝn, Coptic: *ϣⲉϫⲓⲛ; modern Sajin al-Kum Arabic: سجين الكوم‎),^[1] or the Deltaic Lycopolis was an ancient town in the Sebennytic nome in Lower Egypt, in the neighbourhood of Mendes, and, from its appellation, apparently founded by a colony of Osirian priests from the town of Lycopolis in Upper Egypt.
