Kerap III
Kerap III (Shinasthana: 三且甲, srum-tsaq-kerap; 大兄甲, lats-smrang-kerap; r. 386 BCE – ?) was a ruler of the city of Tsinh from the very end of the Dark Ages into the Archaic Period. While the Springs and Autumns of Six States does not record anything about the city of Tsinh during his reign, an event in the city of Sin is dated to the year 385 BCE, which is stated to be second year of his reign. Thus, his reign must have begun in 386 BCE, according to the consensus chronology of the Six States. Hence, the upper bound of his reign is known, but not its lower bound, as no events are attributed to the years of his successor Keq III. Owing to the 63 regnals years credited to Keq III's successor Prang V, Krap III's reign is estimated to be around 20 years.
Chronology aside, Kerap III is venerated as the first member of the eighth sacramental generation in the royal ancestral cult and is accorded the epithet "elder brother".
He was preceded by Qwi the Heir and followed by Keq III.
