Yada'il Bayyin I. (Hadramaut)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Yada'il Bayyin I. ( Old South Arabian yd''l byn ), son of Sumhuyafa ', was a King of Hadramaut . He ruled around or shortly after 350 BC. Chr.

Yada'il Bayin I. is known from two inscriptions. One of these, which has been preserved in triplicate, recalls the construction of a wall in Mayfa'at under Yada'il Bayin, son of Sumhuyafa and under Ilsama 'Dhubyan , son of Malikkarib, the two kings of Hadramaut . These two rulers ruled together, with Yada'il Bayin being mentioned first and therefore probably the older. The other inscription comes from Shabwa and tells of the construction of a building on behalf of Yada'il Bayyin.
