Decan List

The list gives an approximate layout for how the decans, deities, cluster labels (in transliteration), and decanal figures (in bold) are arranged.  However, the only way of perceiving the complete layout and orthography of the labels is by consulting photographs or drawings. 

The decan list is remarkably similar to that of Senenmut.  The differences are conifned to the omission of the large "cluster" or "egg" decanal figure (and associated 6th cluster label), the labelling of xAw as the 3rd cluster (should be 5th), and the omission of the deities for Stwy.

The decan numbers and letters shown here are for the decan family AR1

SP = superior planet

IP = inferior planet

Grey shading = damage

< > = omitted but understood

{ } = included in error

The number of star symbols accompanying the decans is also omitted here, as it is often impossible to tell to which decan the symbols refer.  EAT3 deals with star symbols in some detail.
