Syphax (Ancient Greek: Σύφαξ, Sýphax;[1] Punic: 𐤎𐤐𐤒, SPQ)[2][3][4] was a king of the Masaesyli tribe of western Numidia (present-day Algeria) during the last quarter of the 3rd century BC. His story is told in Livy's Ab Urbe Condita (written c. 27–25 BC).[5] He ruled over a territory extending from present day Constantine to Fez.[6]
