Spanish term or phrase: hiladas (in stone walls)
"LOS ASDAD HIMYARÍES DE LA REGIÓN DE ZAFAR
Sadd Ru'ayn
Pocos restos quedan del antiguo sadd bajo el actual, de tierra, y con un trazado curvo completamente diferente del original. De aquel, apenas se conserva parte de los 110 m. de su dique, sin duda el más largo de los estudiados hasta el momento, a los que deben añadirse los 23 m. que distan desde el estribo lateral hasta la salida excavada en la roca. Del dique se conservan actualmente tres **hiladas** de bloques de pequeño mediano tamaño pertenecientes a su muro exterior, con un alzado máximo de 0'85 m. de los tres que, como mínimo, debió tener originalmente."
