Akhadom is traditionally said to have been an ancestral father, to whom most notables and chiefs of Agame trace their pedigrees.
[2] Akhadom is considered to be the founder of the local dynasty of the shum Agame.
He is said to have marched into Agame and defeated the earlier local ruler Kendashih, the descendant of the Summe, the ancestral father of the Irob.
The Emperor had sent fresh auxiliaries to them under the command of Akhadom, governor of Tigray.
[4] Most probably this was the same Akhadom who is still remembered with much awe and respect in Agame and, indeed, in the political traditions of all Tigray.
