What was this king/ warrior's exact name (AGATHOFLIS)

score:7

Accepted answer

Turns out it was a typo. In Arabic language, the letters فـ 'Fa' and قـ 'Qaf' share the same cursive writing, with Qaf having one additional point.

The king is Agathocles of Syracuse.

In the Wikipedia page, the name is correct : أغاثوقليس

I would suggest that the name was written in the book with a 'Fa' was due to the bold writing (A point not appearing), or simply a typo (The letters are next to each other on the Arabic keyboard).
