Tamal (Sudanese king)

Tamal was a king of the Blemmyes who ruled in Lower Nubia in the late fourth or early fifth century. Tamal is known so far from three short Greek inscriptions found at the temple of Kalabsha. The inscriptions are difficult to understand, but they appear to concern land donations to high-ranking individuals. One of the inscriptions mentions a high priest, which proves that pagan temple operations in Kalabsha were still functioning at this time.
