Included as the Dacian sacred-kingship figure binding the Zalmoxis cult to historical rulership (prompt foregrounds the Dacian set). Classified 'mortal': a historical king (not deified in the sources, unlike his priest Decaeneus), but central to Geto-Dacian religion through the priest-king nexus and the meat/wine-abstention discipline Strabo traces to Zalmoxis. Native name transmitted in Greek inscriptions and Strabo; no Dacian-script form survives. vitalStatus 'deceased'.
