It is believed that Arqamani ruled in Meroë at the time of the
Egyptian revolt of
Horwennefer against
Ptolemy IV Philopator (reign 221–204 BC). In the latter locality, he usurped some donation inscriptions originally inscribed for Ptolemy IV. He was buried in a
pyramid in Meroë now known as Beg. N 7. He was sometimes tentatively identified with the king
Ergamenes mentioned by
Diodorus Siculus but modern scholars now believe that an earlier king with a similar name,
Arakamani, is a better candidate for this identification. Nevertheless, Arqamani is sometimes called Ergamenes II. Sudan tempel of musawwar es sufra.jpg|
