Although she does not specifically label the document as a gazetteer, Penelope Wilson (Department of Archaeology, Durham University) describes an ancient Egyptian papyrus found at the site of Tanis, Egypt (a city founded during the Twentieth dynasty of Egypt) which provides the following for each administrative area of Egypt at the time: ...the name of a nome capital, its sacred barque, its sacred tree, its cemetery, the date of its festival, the names of forbidden objects, the local god, land, and lake of the city.
Iako ne označuje dokument specifično kao geografski leksikon, Penelop Wison (PhD, predavačica na Odjelu za arhitekturu na Sveučilištu u Durhamu) opisuje staroegipatski papirus pronađen na lokalitetu Tanis, Egipat (grad osnovan tijekom Dvanaeste egipatske dinastije) koji daje sljedeći prikaz za svako administrativno područje Egipta u to vrijeme: …ime prijestolnice noma, njezine svete barke, njezinog svetog stabla, njezinog groblja, datum njezina festivala, imena zabranjenih objekata, lokalnog gradskog boga, zemlje i jezera.
