From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   No
      or No-A'mon, the home of Amon, the name of Thebes, the ancient
      capital of what is called the Middle Empire, in Upper or
      Southern Egypt. "The multitude of No" (Jer. 46:25) is more
      correctly rendered, as in the Revised Version, "Amon of No",
      i.e., No, where Jupiter Amon had his temple. In Ezek. 30:14, 16
      it is simply called "No;" but in ver. 15 the name has the Hebrew
      Hamon prefixed to it, "Hamon No." This prefix is probably the
      name simply of the god usually styled Amon or Ammon. In Nah. 3:8
      the "populous No" of the Authorized Version is in the Revised
      Version correctly rendered "No-Amon."
     
         It was the Diospolis or Thebes of the Greeks, celebrated for
      its hundred gates and its vast population. It stood on both
      sides of the Nile, and is by some supposed to have included
      Karnak and Luxor. In grandeur and extent it can only be compared
      to Nineveh. It is mentioned only in the prophecies referred to,
      which point to its total destruction. It was first taken by the
      Assyrians in the time of Sargon (Isa. 20). It was afterwards
      "delivered into the hand" of Nebuchadnezzar and Assurbani-pal
      (Jer. 46:25, 26). Cambyses, king of the Persians (B.C. 525),
      further laid it waste by fire. Its ruin was completed (B.C. 81)
      by Ptolemy Lathyrus. The ruins of this city are still among the
      most notable in the valley of the Nile. They have formed a great
      storehouse of interesting historic remains for more than two
      thousand years. "As I wandered day after day with ever-growing
      amazement amongst these relics of ancient magnificence, I felt
      that if all the ruins in Europe, classical, Celtic, and
      medieval, were brought together into one centre, they would fall
      far short both in extent and grandeur of those of this single
      Egyptian city." Manning, The Land of the Pharaohs.
