The Minaean people were one of four ancient Yemenite groups Greek ethnos mentioned by Eratosthenes . The others were the Sabaeans , Hadramites and Qatabanians . Each of these had regional kingdoms in ancient Yemen, with the Minaeans in the north east in Wadi al Jawf , the Sabeans to the south east of them, the Qatabanians to the south east of the Sabaeans, and the Hadramites east of them.

The ancient Kingdom of Awsan in South Arabia modern Yemen , with a capital at Hagar Yahirr in the wadi Markha, to the south of the wadi Bayhan, is now marked by a tell or artificial mound, which is locally named Hagar Asfal . Once it was one of the most important small kingdoms of South Arabia. The city seems to have been destroyed in the 7th century BCE by the king and mukarrib of Sabaeans Saba Karib il Watar , according to a Sabaean text that reports the victory in terms that attest to its significance for the Sabaeans. First impressions in the mid 1990s, based on ceramics found by M. Saad Ayoub at the unexcavated site, date a resurgence of the city to the end of the 2nd century BCE lasting until the beginning of the 1st century CE which corresponds quite well to the epigraphic data attesting the only deified South Arabian king that was just the king of Awsan precisely around this time . About 160,000 m were encircled by walls, and the foundations of dwellings built of fired brick have been noted. Culture depended on annual flood irrigation in spring and summer, when flash floods down the wadis temporarily flooded the fields, leaving light silt that has since been wind eroded, revealing the ancient patterns of fields and ditches. Radiocarbon dating of irrigation sediments in the environs suggest that essential irrigation was abandoned in the first half of the 1st century CE, and the population dispersed. This time the site was never rebuilt. Hagar Yahirr was the center of an exceptionally large city for South Arabia , influenced by Hellenistic culture, with temples and a palace structure surrounded by mudbrick dwellings, with a probable site for a souq or market and a caravanserai serving camel caravans. One of its kings at this period was the only Yemeni ruler to be accorded divine honours his surviving portrait statuette is dressed in Greek fashion, contrasting with those of his predecessors who are dressed in Arabian style, with kilt and shawl.

The Monumentum Adulitanum was an ancient Adulite inscription in Greek language Greek and Ge ez language Ge ez depicting the military campaigns of an Adulite king. Though the inscription and the monument have never been located by archaeologists we know about it through the copying of the inscription by Cosmas Indicopleustes , a 6th century Greek people Greek traveller cum monk. The original text was inscribed on a throne in Adulis Ge ez language Ge ez manbar written in Ge ez in both the Ge ez alphabet Ge ez script and Sabaean language Sabean alphabet , while the Greek was written in the Greek alphabet . Seeing that the text was in Greek and followed an inscription about King Ptolemy III Euergetes s conquests in Asia, Cosmas Indicopleustes mistook the Aksumite inscription for the continuation of Ptolemy s. The anonymous text describes the King s conquests, including the Gaze possibly the earliest reference to Akkele Guzay and the Agame a region in Tigray Province Tigray , Ethiopia . The inscription also mentions the subjugation of the Arab s, the Sabaeans , and the Kinaidokolpitas in modern day Yemen and perhaps Saudi Arabia . Interestingly, the inscription also notes that in the unnamed King s expedition to the mountains past the Nile , his men were knee deep in snow . The inscription ends with the King s affirmation that he is the first to have subjugated all of the aforementioned peoples, and dedicates his throne to Zeus or the god Astar god Astar , cognate to the Semitic goddess Astarte . Biher god Beher meant sea in Geez, and the name Beher mentioned in the monument refers to the Adulite version of the Greek god Neptune and especially Ares or Maher god Mahrem . The monument was found in the port city state of Adulis during Cosmas visit. The 3rd century AD Adulite inscription also contains what may be the first reference to the Agaw , referring to a people called Athagaus perhaps from Ad Ag w . ref Uhlig, Siegbert, Encyclopaedia Aethiopica A C Wiesbaden Har ... more details
