Name employed by the Greek historian Manetho to refer to two Egyptian rulers of the 30th Dynasty (380-343 BC), who actually held two different 'birth names': Nakhtnebef (Nectanebo I) and Nakhthorheb (Nectanebo II). Nectanebo I (fl. 4th century BC) was the first king (reigned 380-362 BC) of the 30th Dynasty of Egypt; he successfully opposed an attempt by the Persians to reimpose their rule on Egypt (373 BC). Nectanebo II (also fl. 4th century BC) was the third and last king (reigned 360-343 BC) of the 30th Dynasty of Egypt; he was the last of the native Egyptian kings.
