al-Harith ibn Jabalah - ܚܪܬ ܒܪ ܓܒܠܐ

http://syriaca.org/person/5097
Named Arethas in the Greek sources, al-Harith was ruler of the Jafnid confederation on Rome's eastern desert border. He supported the Romans in their wars against the Persians and was important for the development of an independent miaphysite episcopal hierarchy in the east since he asked for the installation of miaphysite bishops in his territory in 542, a process eventually leading to the consecration of Jacob Burd'oyo.3
