Yada'il Bayyin IV (Hadramaut)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Yada'il Bayyin IV , son of the rabbsham, was a king of the Yemeni empire Hadramaut . He probably ruled in the second half of the third century AD.

Yada'il Bayyin IV is known from various royal and private inscriptions. A royal inscription mentions larger buildings in the Hadramitic capital Shabwat . According to the rock inscriptions at the holy place at Al-'Uqla , the ancient Anwadum, his successors were his brother Yadi'ab Bayyin and his sons Ilrayum Yadum , Yadi'ab Ghailan III. and Rabbschams III. These rulers thus represent a dynasty within the rulers of Hadramaut. Kenneth A. Kitchen also assigns him a royal inscription from Al-'Uqla, in which a victory over Qataban is mentioned. This is highly doubtful, however, as the inscription belongs to a much earlier stage palaeographically and Qataban was defeated by Hadramaut in the middle of the 2nd century AD.
