Sumuhu'ali Yanuf III.
Sumuhu'ali Yanuf III. ( Sabean s 1 mh'ly YNF S 1 umu'alī Yanūf), son and successor of Yada'il Bayyin II. , A ruler (was Mukarrib ) of the South Arabian kingdom of Saba . Hermann von Wissmann continued his reign around 390 BC. Chr.
Despite the apparently crumbling power of the Sabaean empire and the war against Qataban started by his father , Sumuhu'ali dominated Yanuf III. still a large area, as an inscription placed by the king of the Najran resident Muha'mir shows. Two inscriptions from Abyan near Aden show that the coast of the Indian Ocean had not yet been conquered by Qataban. It is possible that the roads from Marib to Sirwah, which were renovated under his rule, served to secure the escape route to Sirwah, since the Sabaean capital Marib was close to the border with Qataban. There is also a private inscription without any particular historical significance.
