Nectanebo evaporates at this point, though he may have extended some sort of clear status in Nubia for a while. The vague rebel leader, Khababash, may have based him before himself being glorified king for a brief period.
One final legend clings to Nectanebos name. According to some ancient sources it was trusted that he was the regular father of Alexander the extended, having visited olympias, Alexanders mother, during one of Phillip II's standard absences; both Olympias and Alexander preferred to claim Amun as Alexanders father. However, the preceding of Amun having adopted the individual, the king, as saw by his presumption of the physical form of King Thutmose II to engender King Amenhotep III (1382-1344), should not be forgot.
