<jats:title>Summary</jats:title>
<jats:p>This paper deals with the geography of the region of Sharuna in Middle Egypt. It focuses especially on the toponym <jats:inline-graphic xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" xlink:href="graphic/j_zaes-2020-0009_fig_001.png" />
<jats:italic>wwt-n(y)-Sbk</jats:italic> inscribed on P. 10500 A-B, also called “Sharuna Papyrus”. Because the document lacks an exact archaeological provenance, this study is of major interest. Similar place names (<jats:inline-graphic xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" xlink:href="graphic/j_zaes-2020-0009_fig_001.png" />
<jats:italic>wt</jats:italic> + nominal genitive) are analysed. Based on the results obtained, it is highly conceivable that <jats:inline-graphic xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" xlink:href="graphic/j_zaes-2020-0009_fig_001.png" />
<jats:italic>wwt-n(y)-cbk</jats:italic> was in the vicinity of the ancient <jats:inline-graphic xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" xlink:href="graphic/j_zaes-2020-0009_fig_001.png" />
<jats:italic>wt-nsw</jats:italic>. The geographical situation of Sharuna, the topography of Middle Egypt, the state policy during the III<jats:sup>rd</jats:sup> millennium in the region and finally the local belief represent elements that fit particularly well with the information conveyed by the place name <jats:inline-graphic xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" xlink:href="graphic/j_zaes-2020-0009_fig_001.png" />
<jats:italic>wwt-n(y)-cbk</jats:italic>. Moreover, considering the contents of P. 10500 A-B, an original location of the papyrus in the tomb of one of the <jats:inline-graphic xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" xlink:href="graphic/j_zaes-2020-0009_fig_002.png" /> of Kom el-Ahmar/Sawaris has been suggested.</jats:p>
