There were, in fact, two Pharaohs of the Thirtieth dynasty called Nectanebus but their dates are 380-363BC and 360-342BC. ["A Dictionary of Irish Mythology" - Peter Berresford Ellis. Oxford University Press (1991]
Nectanebus I, also called Nekhtnebf I or Nekhtnebef I, first king (reigned 380-363 BC) opposed an attempt by the Persians to reimpose their rule on Egypt (373). When Nectanebo came to the throne, a Persian invasion was imminent. A powerful army gathered by the previous king, Achoris (reigned 393-380 BC), and largely composed of Greek mercenaries, was entrusted by Nectanebo to the Athenian Chabrias. The Persians, however, succeeded in causing Chabrias' recall and marched against Egypt with a force of 220,000. The Egyptians suffered an initial reverse, but through the indecision of the Persian general Pharnabazus, they were able to collect their forces, outflanking the delaying invaders near Mendesin the Delta and forcing them to retreat. Nectanebo was relieved of further Persian intervention during the rest of his rule because of satrap rebellions throughout the Persian Empire. Nectanebo also undertook much building activity, especially at Philae, Edfu, and Hermopolis Magna, and the arts in particular flourished during his reign. ("Encyclopaedia Britannica" - 15th Edition.

Nectanebo II, also called Nekhtharheb II or Nekhtharehbe II, third and last king (reigned 360-343 BC) of the 30th dynasty of Egypt; he was the last of the native Egyptian kings. Nectanebo, with the aid of Spartan king Agesilaus II, usurped the throne from Tachas. A rival pretender almost succeeded in overthrowing the new king, but Agesilaus defeated him and left Nectanebo firmly established as ruler. His most powerful enemy was the Persian king Artaxerxes III Ochus, who, after an earlier futile attempt, swept down through Phoenicia and Palestine, entered three mouths of the Nile at once, and easily took control of Egypt. Nectanebo fled first to Memphis and then to Upper Egypt; thereafter nothing more is known of him. ("Encyclopaedia Britannica" - 15th Edition. Encyclopaedia Britannica Inc.

Nectanebo I 's son was Tachos and Nectanebo II was a nephew of Tachos. Following Nectanebo II Egypt was mostly under Persian rule until the Alexander the Great of Macedonia defeated the Persians at Issus in 333 BC. ("Encyclopaedia Britannica" - 15th Edition.
