Yada'il Bayyin II (Hadramaut)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Yada'il Bayyin II ( old South Arabic ydʿʾl byn ), son of King Yadi'ab Ghailan I , was a king of Hadramaut . He ruled around or shortly after AD 150.

Yada'il Bayyin II is only known from two inscriptions. One of them is a building inscription in which Yada'il Bayyin reports that he renovated or expanded the city wall of Shabwat . A Sabaean private inscription shows him to be a contemporary of Sa'jam's Asra of Saba , but he appears in the said inscription only as Yada'il, so the identification remains uncertain.
