Zaybu
Zaybu was a Nabatean stone mason or sculptor who worked in Hegra in the 1st century .
His name is only passed down through a graffito found in Hegra, according to which he was an artist and a son of Abd'obodat. It is believed that his father was the stonemason Abd'obodat . Accordingly, he would also have been involved in the production of grave facades in Hegra in the second half of the 1st century. However, an inscription that would clearly identify him as a stone mason or sculptor of one of the facades could not be found.
