The fact that this specific “volume” of EHW deals exclusively with Constantinopledifferentiates it to a large extend from the other ones regarding the thematic category of place names. It includes, apart from the entries that examine the city itself as a whole in the various periods of time, some entries that either present specific phenomena of local character with the city’s environment (for example "Harbors in Constantinople"), or refer to the districts of Constantinople (for example "Phanari", "Galatas") and the villages of the European coast of Bosporus.
