King of Saba', Dhu Raydan, Hadramawt, Yamnat and their Arabs, on Tawdum and Tihamat / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Marthad'ilan Yu'nim (Arabic: مرثد ألن ينعم) real name Marthad ibn Lakhni'ah ibn Sharhabil Yakkuf al-Himyari, was a king of Himyar who reigned in the late 5th century CE, although his reign had also been dated to the early sixth century CE.[1][2] After his rule, according to the historian Christian J. Robin, there is a period of fifteen years with no named ruler in inscriptions, hence implying a period of political disorder after his demise.[2]
