Gadarat

George Hatke

Gadarat (r. end of the second–beginning of the third century CE) was a king of Aksum who formed an alliance with the Sabaean king ʿAlhān Nahfān. In keeping with the terms of this alliance, Gadarat provided military aid to Sabaʾ at a time when that kingdom went to war with Ḥimyar. In addition to aiding the Sabaeans, Gadarat seems to have engaged in military campaigns of his own along the Red Sea coast of Arabia to the north of Sabaʾ.
