`DBH

`DBH [vocalized as `Azaba or `Adhebah] (fl. 3rd century) was a king of Axum, in the territory of modern-day Ethiopia, who ruled c. 230–240. He and his son GRMT (possibly vocalized as "Girma") are known through South Arabian inscriptions which mention Shamir, king of Dhu-Raydan and Himyar asking for his help against the Sabaean kings.[1]
