Khabash,alsoKhababashorKhabbash,resided atSaisin the fifthnomeofLower Egyptin the fourth century BC. During thesecond Persian occupation of Egypt(343–332 BC) he led a revolt against the Persian rule in concert with his eldest son, from ca. 338 to 335 BC, a few years before the conquest of Egypt byAlexander the Great.[4]It is said thatNectanebo II,the exiled last native ruler of Egypt, may have helped in these events, but he was possibly sidelined for good as a result of the failure of the revolt.[citation needed]
Little is known about Khabash. He is referred to as "Lord of both lands",[5]i.e.King of Upper and Lower Egypt,and as "Son of Ra",another pharaonic title, and given the throne name ofSenen-setep-en-Ptahin a decree by Ptolemy Lagides,[6]who became KingPtolemy I Soterin 305 BC.
Sometime in the330s BC,an Egyptian ruler called Kambasuten – who is widely recognized as Khabash – led an invasion into thekingdom of Kushwhich was defeated by kingNastasenas recorded in a stela now in the Berlin museum. AnApisbull sarcophagus bearing his name was found in theSerapeum of Saqqara,[7]dating to his second regnal year.[8]
