 Necherôchis (Eusebius) or Necherôphes (Africanus), both likely Hellenized forms of Nebka, is said to have faced a rebellion of Libyans during his reign, but "when the moon waxed beyond reckoning, they surrendered in terror".Africanus further credits Necherôphes with 28 years of reign.Nebka's identity with respect to other Third Dynasty rulers is now partially settled.
