Blemmeys
Can it be possible that the Roman Emperor Diocletian [needed] to help defeat the Blemmy[e]s? If you follow the wiki-link, Blemmyes are [...] mythical headless Ethiopes. Naerhu 07:31, 14 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Yes. Like much of ancient anthropology, the Blemmyes got some embellishments, followed by some blurred distinctions. Possibly they were originally a tribe with a genetic predisposition to being hunchbacked, but by the time period in question, it was simply the title given to nomadic Beja tribesmen in the area. Think of the way anyone northeast of the Black Sea was "Scythian" from the Indo-Europeans to the Mongols. - kd 16 October 2006
 * The Blemmyes article needs clean-up: the Nubans were fighting the Beja. More likely the headless bit had to do with their traditional large shields. -LlywelynII (talk) 18:44, 21 June 2009 (UTC)

King List
This article needs one, albeit partial atm:

Kings of Nobadia
... Tantani, 5th c., "Tribal chief (phylarkhos) of the Anouba" ... Silko, c. 540, "Kinglet (basiliskos) of the Nobadae and all the Ethiopians" Abourni, ... Tokiltoeton, c. 577

Eparchs of Nobadia

 * Apparently Derek A. Welsby: The Medieval Kingdoms of Nubia. Pagans, Christians and Muslims along the Middle Nile.  London:  The British Museum Press, 2002. has a complete listing of all known Nobadian and Blemmyan/Beja kings, which could be used here if someone has access to a library. -LlywelynII (talk) 04:24, 22 June 2009 (UTC)
 * It seems like the German wiki already raided the book for their list, if someone could translate the pages and material for Nobadia. -LlywelynII (talk) 08:42, 22 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Hostkingdoms is down, but you can also reach it through the Way Back Machine here. -LlywelynII (talk) 10:50, 22 June 2009 (UTC)
