Yada'il Yanuf

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Yada'il Yanuf ( Sabaean ydʿʾl ynf Yadaʿʾil Yanūf), son of Karib'il I , who is partially identified with Karib'il Watar I , was a ruler ( Mukarrib ) of the ancient South Arabian Empire of Saba . Hermann von Wissmann continued his reign around 755 BC. BC, Kenneth A. Kitchen, however, around 810–790 BC. Chr.

Yada'il Yanuf is narrated through two inscriptions. One mentions the construction of a facility called Mas'um, which was probably located in the Raghwan oasis northwest of the Sabaean capital Marib . The other inscription was made by a "friend" of the Karib'il and Qayn of Yada'il Yanuf. In addition, another inscription that mentions private construction work in irrigation systems should also refer to him. His son and successor, after Hermann von Wissmann, was Sumuhu'ali Dharih , Kitchen, however, considers an otherwise unknown Dhamar'ali, father of Yakrubmalik I, to be his successor.
