Kudanbes is also known from a long inscription in the
Anba Hatra Monastery in Aswan written by a certain courtier called Kartolaos. It is composed in Nubianized
Greek and commemorates a visit by king Kudanbes and his retinue in April 1322, perhaps as prelude to the Mamluk installation attempt in 1323. His retinue was described as very large, consisting of bishops, priests and civil dignitaries bearing a variety of Greek and
Latin titles. ==See also==
