Biography
He would be placed in genealogical lists as the successor of his brother Aylimas[1] and predecessor of Zelalsan II as in Numidian tradition, the brothers come before the sons in succession.[2] The dates of his reign are sometimes placed between 310 (death of Aylimas) and 270 BC, but these remain hypothetical, due to a lack of direct sources[3].
Informations about Niptasan comes primarily from oral tradition studies, rather than from contemporary documents or period writings.[4] Historians emphasize that historical documentation for this period of Numidia is extremely limited, and that figures like Niptasan should be considered semi-legendary or even entirely fictional.[2]
It would seem that even his death, he was succeded by his brother Zelalsan II.
