Segin al-Kom (Arabic: سجين الكوم, from Coptic: *ϣⲉϫⲓⲛ, Ancient Egyptian: Škȝn)[1] is a historical village in the Gharbia Governorate of Egypt.

It was known as Lycopolis or Lykopolis (Greek: Λυκούπολις)[2] in the Antiquity, an ancient town in the Sebennytic nome in Lower Egypt.

From its appellation, the city was apparently founded by a colony of Osirian priests from the town of Lycopolis in Upper Egypt.

It was besieged by Ptolemy V during civil strife: He went to the stronghold of Shekan [which was] fortified by the enemy with every device... he laid siege to the stronghold in question with a wall around its exterior on account of the enemies who were within it who had inflicted great wrong upon Egypt, having abandoned the path of duty to Pharaoh and duty [to the] gods.

[3]The king "seized the stronghold in question by force in a short time" having cut off the water supply to the fortress and taken control of the irrigation canals.
