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.[3] Dhamarʿalī Yuhabirr handed his throne down to his son Thaʾrān Yaʿub, who succeeded him around 175.[4]
Bronze statues of the king Dhamar'alî Yuhabirr and Tha'rân were found in an-Nakhla al-Hamrâ in the Dhamar Governorate of Yemen.[5] Sabaic inscriptions on Dhamar Ali's statue reads "the two kings of Sabaʾ and ḏu-Raydān, placed what they granted to their vassals" and "S²rḥs¹myd and Mgdm, of the family Ḏrnḥ, in the hall of their palace".[5]
