Talk:Ilīsharaḥ Yaḥḍub I

Is this even right?

I copy edited the article in good faith and, sure, the internet is full of people copying it but several other sites on Google say that Strabo is talking about a region or hinterland (possibly from "Dhu el-Hazar"). Similarly, if this is a Hadramaut king, it seems he might be the Elizaros of the Periplus of the Erythraean Sea, whose Latin form Elizarus would be the common English form of the name. Just with regard to Strabo, the Latin form Ilisarus is going to be much more common than the -os form. — LlywelynII 21:50, 14 February 2019 (UTC)

@LlywelynII: Could you provide links to these website? According to Glaser Ilasaros is Ilsharah kings of Saba' and Dhu Raydan and also he discribed him as the king of Rhammanites [1]. Nothing I know about him being king of HAdramout but there were a lot of kings in Yemen with the same name--SharabSalam (talk) 03:28, 15 February 2019 (UTC)

Well, you or I could Google Ilasaros Strabo and find the pages that I was just talking about but it's probably more helpful to just go directly to a translation of Strabo (Perseus? Lacus Curtius?) and see if they were right or not. I'm in the middle of something, but maybe later. — LlywelynII 03:37, 15 February 2019 (UTC)

I think its very unlikely that he was king of Hadrmout because he was identified by many scholars as El Sharah king of Saba and Dhu Raydan maybe Strabo was referring to Awsan or Qataban as Hadrmout because at that time they were part of (Saba and Dhu Raydan) and Qataban was close to "Mariaba".--SharabSalam (talk) 04:21, 15 February 2019 (UTC)
