Dhamarʿalī Yuhabirrbin Yāsir Yuhaṣdiq (Ḏmrʿly Yhbr), was a king of Saba' and ḏu-Raydān from c. 135 to 175 CE. He ascended the Himyarite throne amidst clashes between Sabaʾ and Ḥimyar. The earliest mention of Dhamarʿalī Yuhabirr appears in an inscription dated to 137.[1]
In the middle of the 2nd century, Dhamarʿalī Yuhabirr and his son Tharan Yaub Yuhanim controlled Kingdom of Saba. During his rule, reports show repairs were made to the irrigation-works (dam) at Marib.[2] Dhamarʿalī Yuhabirr handed his throne down to his son Thaʾrān Yaʿub, who succeeded him around 175.[3]
The Greek Phokassculptor made two more-than-life-size bronze statues of the king Dhamar'alî Yuhabirr and Tha'rân found in an-Nakhla al-Hamrâ in collaboration with the southern Arabian bronze caster Lahay'amm in Yemen.[4] This fact is documented in two inscriptions on the knees of a statue of Tha'rān. The inscription reads "Phokas made it" on the left knee in Greek, and "Lahay'amm has assembled it" on the right knee in South Arabian script.
