The nomarch, or governor of the island, lost his head completely, and was found on the shore hunting for a boat in which to escape with his family from the island. |

Each nome during the Old and Middle Kingdoms was administered by a nomarch, or district governor, who levied taxes, administered justice, and maintained an army. |
