Sabrakamani
Sign in to saveSabrakamani was a Nubian king who is mentioned only in an inscription found so far. It is found in the Amun temple at Kawa.

The inscription is on top of two inscriptions from Amanineteyerike, which is an indication that Sabrakamani reigned later than Amanineteyerike. The inscription lists dedications to the temple. Sabrakamani dates possibly in the first half of the 3rd century BC.
