The deposed Lakhmid ruler Imru' al-Qais had escaped to Bahrain and then to Syria, seeking the promised assistance from the Romans, which never materializes.

Remaining there until he dies, he is entombed at al-Nimarah in the Syrian desert.

His funerary inscription claims the title "King of all the Arabs" and states that he had campaigned successfully over the entire north and center of the Arabian Peninsula, as far as the border of Najran.

Two years after his death, in the year 330, a revolt takes place in which the ruler, Aus ibn Qallam, a puppet of the Persians, killed and succeeded by 'Amr, the son of Imru' al-Qais.
