Karib'il Watar

Karib'il Watar (Arabic: كربئيل وتر بن ذمر علي, lit. 'Krbʾl Wtr, son of Ḏmrʿly') (fl. late 7th century BCE), sometimes distinguished as Karib'il Watar II, was probably the most important ruler of the early days of the Sabaean Kingdom. He is sometimes regarded as the founder of the kingdom proper, as he was responsible for changing the ruler's title from ("Mukarrib") to "king" (malik).
