Khabash, also Khababash or Khabbash, resided at

Sais in the fifth nome of Lower Egypt in the fourth century BC. During the second Persian occupation of Egypt (343–332 BC) he led a revolt against the Persian rule in concert with his eldest son, from ca. 338 to 335 BC, a few years before the conquest of Egypt by Alexander the Great.[4] It is said that Nectanebo II, the exiled last native ruler of Egypt, may have helped in these events, but he was possibly sidelined for good as a result of the failure of the revolt.[citation needed

Little is known about Khabash. He is referred to as "Lord of both lands",

Son of Ra", another pharaonic title, and given the throne name of Senen-setep-en-Ptah in a decree by Ptolemy Lagides,[6] who became King Ptolemy I Soter
in 305 BC.

Sometime in the

Apis bull sarcophagus bearing his name was found in the Serapeum of Saqqara,[7] dating to his second regnal year.[8]
