Editing Nectanebo II (section)

==Name==
''Nectanebo'' is derived from the Greek form of his name, {{lang|grc-latn|Nectanebos}} ({{lang|grc|Νεκτανεβώς}}, or {{lang|grc|Νεκτανεβός}} in later sources). His Egyptian name was ''[[:wikt:nḫt|Nḫt]]-Ḥr-Ḥbt'',{{sfn|Depuydt|2010|p=194}} which means "victorious is [[Horus]] of [[Behbeit el-Hagar|Hebyt]]".<ref>Toby Wilkinson, ''The Rise and Fall of Ancient Egypt'' (Bloomsbury, 2010), p. 463</ref> Although convention in English assigns identical names to him and his grandfather, [[Nectanebo I]], the latter was in fact called {{lang|grc-Latn|Nectanebis}} ({{lang|grc|Νεκτάνεβις}}).{{sfn|Depuydt|2010|pp=193–194}}

Medieval Arab authors referred to him as ''Naqatanibas'' ({{Langx|ar|ناقاطانيباس}}).<ref>{{Cite book |last=Al-Maqrīzī |title=Book of Exhortations and Useful Lessons in Dealing with Topography and Historical Remains |publisher=Hans A.
