Sumuhu'ali Dharih I.
Sumuhu'ali Dharih ( Sabaean s 1 mhʿly ynf S 1 umuʿalī Yanūf), son of Yada'il Yanuf or Yada'il Bayyin I , was a ruler ( Mukarrib ) of the ancient South Arabian empire of Saba . Hermann von Wissmann and Kenneth A. Kitchen set it around 735 and 745–725 BC, respectively. Chr.
One or two ruler's inscriptions come from Sumuhu'ali Dharih. One was found about 9 km south of Marib and certifies the purchase of a property for his son Waqah'il. A fragment of the inscription with the content "...] i Dharih son of Yada'il, Mukarrib of Saba [..." presumably also comes from him.
