The page on his brother [Micipsa Micipsa says that Micipsa was the eldest legitimate son, which contradicts this page. The page on their father says that they both (along with a 3rd brother Gulassa, who may be the same as Gulussa) succeeded him. The Gulussa page suggests that Micipsa was the eldest. Eldest by different mothers? Historically unknown?
I can't find any source quickly that resolves this conclusively, but nearly all sources seem to refer to Micipsa, Gulussa, and Mastanabal in that order as the legitimate sons, so it looks like Micipsa was probably the oldest. I'll remove the claim from this article, because it is not supported by its source. Phil Bridger (talk) 16:58, 14 October 2019 (UTC)Reply
