Luzay or Laka was an ancient king of Aksum who is named on some Ethiopian regnal lists.
Regnal lists[edit]
This king appears on a regnal list quoted by Carlo Conti Rossini under the name "Laka" and was the 23rd monarch to reign following Menelik I.[1]
The official 1922 regnal list claims this king reigned for 12 years, from 20 B.C. to 8 B.C., with dates following the Ethiopian calendar.[2] Two variations of this regnal list, written by Heruy Wolde Selassie and Aleka Taye respectively, both state this king reigned for 2 years, from 10 B.C. to 8 B.C.[3][4]
Ethiopian historian Fisseha Yaze Kassa stated this king reigned for 8 years.[5]
