Yitha'amar Bayyin I. is passed down mainly through building inscriptions. According to these, he had construction work carried out on the fortifications of 'Ararat (today al-Asahil ) between the Sabaean capital Marib and the Jauf , on the northern border of the city limits of Marib and on the walls of Marib itself. As can be seen from the victory report of Karib'il Watar I (around 685 BC), he probably also acquired land in the Datinat region (today Dathina ).
