Actisănes

（Ἀκτισάνης). A king of Aethiopia, who conquered Egypt. He was remarkable for his moderation towards his new subjects, as well as for his justice and equity. All the robbers and malefactors, too, were collected from every part of the kingdom, and, having had their noses cut off, were established in Rhinocolura, a city which he had founded for the purpose of receiving them. See Diod. Sic. i. 60.
