  • Piankh-her. Buried at Nuri (Nu. 57)
  • Akhe(qa?) was a daughter of Aspelta (and possibly Henuttakhbit). She may have been a sister wife of Aramatle-qo. She is buried at Nuri (Nu. 38)
  • Amanitakaye, was a daughter of Aspelta and a sister-wife of Aramatle-qo. She is the mother of King Malonaqen. Buried at Nuri (Nu. 26). Known from a shawabti and other funerary items.
  • Maletasen is known from a shabti. She was buried at Nuri (Nu. 39).

    • Monuments

    Aramatle-qo is primarily attested by his pyramid Nu 9 in Nuri which dates to the end of the 6th or the 5th century BC. A votive object bearing his name originates from Meroe. A piece of jewelry from Aramatle-qo's pyramid, a gold collar necklace which bears his name, was found here. It may have belonged to the king himself or to one of his courtiers.
