Dhamarʿalī Yuhabirr bin Yāsir Yuhaṣdiq (Ḏmrʿly Yhbr), was a king of Saba' and ḏu-Raydān from c. 135 – 175 CE. 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 Thaʾrān Ya'ub Yuhan'im controlled Kingdom of Saba. During his rule, reports on repairs to the irrigation - works (dam) at Marib.[2] Dhamarʿalī Yuhabirr associated his son Thaʾrān Yaʿub with the throne. The latter succeeded him around 175.[3]

The Greek Phokas sculptor 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 mentioned in an inscription on the knees of a statue of Tha'rān : " Phokas made it " is written on the left knee in Greek, and "Lahay'amm has assembled it" on the right knee in South Arabian script.
