Personal names have numerous transcriptions often within the same language and time-frame. In the
interests of a wider general understanding we have compiled our lists, using the most common English form.
However, as some early texts such as Maspero's Momies Royales contain such incomprehensible versions,
that we have compiled a special list of all orthographies found on this site.
