sentences:  Ancient South Arabian inscriptions mention a tribe called "kdt", who had a king called "rbˁt" (Rabi’ah) from "ḏw ṯwr-m" (the people of Thawr), who had sworn allegiance to the king of Saba’ and Dhū Raydān.Since later Arab genealogists trace Kindah back to a person called Thawr ibn ‘Uqayr, modern historians have concluded that this "rbˁt ḏw ṯwrm" (Rabī’ah of the People of Thawr) must have been a king of Kindah ("kdt"); the Musnad inscriptions mention that he was king both of "kdt" (Kindah) and "qhtn" (Qaḥṭān).They played a major role in the Sabaean-Hadramite war.
