Elesbaan

Kalebu bin TazenaS. C. Munro-Hay, Aksum: An African Civilization of Late Antiquity (Edinburgh: University Press, 1991), p. 84.(maarufu kama ElesbaanAt Aksum, in inscription RIE 191, his name is rendered in unvocalized Gə‘əz as KLB ’L ’ṢBḤ WLD TZN (Kaleb ʾElla ʾAṣbeḥa, son of Tazena). In vocalized Gə‘əz, it is ካሌብ እለ አጽብሐ, Kaleb ʾƎllä ʾAṣbəḥa. Procopius calls him "Hellestheaeus", a variant of Ελεσβόάς version of his regnal name, እለ አጽብሐ, ʾƎllä ʾAṣbəḥa (Histories, 1.20). Variants of his name are Hellesthaeus, Ellestheaeus, Eleshaah, Ellesboas, and Elesboam.; alifariki 540/555 hivi) alikuwa mfalme wa Aksum mwanzoni mwa karne ya 6, ambaye ufalme wake ulienea katika Eritrea na Jimbo la Tigray, Ethiopia ya leo.

Kalebu alivamia Yemen mwaka 520 hivi ili kumuadhibu mfalme Myahudi Yusuf Asar Yathar, maarufu kama Dhu Nuwas, aliyeangamiza Wakristo wa Najran. Baada ya mapigano mengi alipata ushindi na kumweka Mkristo mwenyeji Sumuafa' Ashawa' (Esimiphaios) kutawala Himyar kwa niaba yakeAxumite control of Arabia Felix continued until c.525 when Sumuafa' Ashawa' was deposed by Abraha, who made himself king. Procopius states that Kaleb made several unsuccessful attempts to recover his overseas territory; however, his successor later negotiated a peace with Abraha, where Abraha acknowledged the Axumite king's authority and paid tribute. Munro-Hay opines that by this expedition Axum overextended itself, and this final intervention across the Red Sea, "was Aksum's swan-song as a great power in the region."Munro-Hay, Aksum, p. 88..

Baada ya kupeleka taji lake Yerusalemu, wakati wa kaisari Yustino, inasadikika kwamba hatimaye Kalebu aling'atuka akajiunga na monasteri kama alivyotamani kabla hajamrudia Mungu.Munro-Hay, Aksum, pp. 88f.https://www.santiebeati.it/dettaglio/92759

Kutokana na kutetea Wakristo wa Uarabuni, Kalebu anajulikana na kuheshimiwa na Waorthodoksi wa Mashariki na Wakatoliki kama Mtakatifu Elesbaan.
