He probably ruled at the end of the second century (195 - 210 AD) and is known only from the numerous coins that he minted. His coins are in a Parthian style, and the name on his coins is written in Aramaic as mʼg – which is interpreted as Maga. On these coins, he describes himself as the son of a King Attambelos who is otherwise unrecorded in history. Maga was the last ruler of Characene for which there is contemporary records.
