'''Kama Tarkhan''' was a legendary ancestor-king of the Altyn Oba Horde located on the steppes to the north of the [[Black Sea]].

When [[Jin Zhun]] overthrew [[Liu Can]], many of the Hunnish tribes around Pingyang (平陽, in modern [[Linfen]], [[Shanxi]]) fled west along the [[Silk Road]] appearing in [[Transoxiana]] as the [[Chionite]]s around 320 AD. However, there is no one in the Liu family whose name sounds like "Kama Tarkhan". If Kama Tarkhan was of this same group, then he would have been related to [[Kidara]] of the Ki clan (of [[Yuezhi]] ethnicity), who led a Bactrian portion of [[Chionite]]s to overthrow the [[Kushan Empire|Kushans]] in [[India]]. In this case he might have been the [[Chionite]] king Grumbat mentioned by Ammianus Marcellinus and included in the Kidara dynastic list of the Chionite Ki clan. The journey of the Ki clan from Bactria to the Ukrainian and Danubian plains is recorded in various myths about the origins of the European Huns recorded in the Kiev Chronicles, and by Bar Hebraeus, as well as in the Chronicle of the late 12th-century Jacobite patriarch of Antioch Michael the Syrian. However, this is two centuries later than the alleged date for Kama Tarkhan.

If they were related to the [[Chionites]], [[Kidarites]], [[Alchon]], and [[Hunas]], Kama Tarkhan's "[[Huns]]" would have had to have gone west, to the [[Karakum Desert|Black Desert]] and ultimately to the Black Sea Steppes. However the so-called "Huns" remaining in the [[Kyzyl Kum|Red Desert]] eventually united with the [[Uar]] in 460 AD and established the Hephthalite empire under which they flourished until the mid 6th century AD.

An alternative identification would be that he was the chief who led the Huns to appear in the west near the [[Caspian Sea]], according to [[Tacitus]] at the turn of the 1st century AD, in retreat from the mad campaign of [[Ban Chao]] (班超) against the [[Xiongnu]].
