Tabirqo

Tabirqo was a king of Kush, ruling from Meroë in the first half of the 2nd century BCE.

[1] Tabirqo's relationship with the king Adikhalamani, known from inscriptions at Philae from roughly the same time, has been variously reconstructed.

George Andrew Reisner (1923) suggested that Tabirqo was a "funerary name" of Adikhalamani and that they were thus one and the same king.

[3] Claude Rilly (2017) and Josefine Kuckertz (2021) instead proposed that Adikhalamani was the same king as (...)mr(...)t, a name fragmentarily preserved in the temporally close tomb Beg.

[2] Nahirqo may have directly succeeded Tabirqo or was perhaps also preceded by an additional unknown king, known only from the unfinished burial Beg.
