Sumuhu'ali I.

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Sumuhu'ali I. ( Sabaean s 1 mhʿly S 1 umuʿalī), presumably the successor to Karib'il Watar I , was a ruler ( Mukarrib ) of the old South Arabian empire of Saba . Hermann von Wissmann continued his reign around 685 BC. Chr.

Sumuhu'ali I is only mentioned on two private inscriptions of the “ Great Complex ” and a fragment of a pompous stele. In two of these inscriptions he appears as the successor of a Karib'il, who is likely to be identical to Karib'il Watar I. Sumuhu'ali's successor cannot be determined with absolute certainty, but the closest in time is apparently Yada'il Dharih I.
