The Sceptre sepat is Upper Egypt’s fourth administritive district. It takes it's name from the was sceptre, an object with connotations of power, prosperity and well-being. The sepat's capital Waset derives its name from this. It is thought that the was sceptre may have originally been a totemic or fetish object with a stylised animal head as is suggested by its shape. Whatever it's origins, it's primary function when buried with the dead was to ensure the continued well-being of the deceased. It seems appropriate that a city preoccupied with death and eternal life, as was the case with Waset, should adopt the name of such an object. Other cities within the nome include:
  • Perhathor (Gk. Pathyris)
  • Iuny (Gk. Hermonthis)
  • Imiotru
  • Djerty
