Adikam

Portrait of Adikam

Adikam was the second son of the king, listed with brothers Othri and Morion and sisters Bathia and Acuzi. He was a cunning and wise man knowing in all the wisdom of Egypt, but of unseemly aspect, thick in flesh, and very short in stature at one cubit. The king resolved that Adikam should reign after him due to his intelligence, and when the king grew sick he had Adikam made king over the land. Adikam then reigned in his father's place after the king died.
