Dhamar'ali Watar

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Dhamar'ali Watar ( Sabaean ḏmrʿly wtr Ḏamarʿalī Watar), son of Karib'il Bayyin I , was a ruler ( Mukarrib ) of Saba . He presumably ruled around 540 BC. Chr.

Dhamar'ali Watar is known from two inscriptions. One of them commemorates the confirmation of Karib'il Bayyin's expansion of the glacis of the then Sabaean city of Naschq . Another inscription attests to the construction of the building fys 2 -m at the gates of Marib , opposite the Athtar temple there. It may be mentioned in another, fragmentary inscription.
