From there to Al-Masila is one stage. Between the city of Tlemcen and Tahert live the Banu Marin, Wurtighir, Zir, Wurtid, Wamanzi and Umanswa, Sanjasa and Ghamra, Buluman and Wurmaksin, Tajin, Wurshaqan, Maghrawa, Banu Rashid, Tamtlas, and Manan and Zaqara, and Timuti. All these tribes are branches of Zanata. They are the people of the Fahoos' sustenance. They are a people of horsemen and nomads, who move from one place to another. However, they are civilized. Most of Zanata are horsemen who ride horses. They have a custom that is not to be trusted, and they have excellent knowledge, skill, and astuteness, and a good hand in the science of the shoulder blade. It is not known that anyone among the nations is more knowledgeable than Zanata in the science of the shoulder blade. They are attributed to Jana, who is the father of all Zanata. He is Jana, son of Diris. Diris is Goliath, whom David killed. Diris son of Lu'ay bin Nafjaw and Zafjaw. He is the father of all Nafrawah. Nafjaw son of Lu'ay the Elder, son of Barr, son of Qays, son of Ilyas, son of Mudar. Zanata, in their early lineage, were pure Arabs. They only became Berbers through their proximity and intermingling with the Berbers of the Masamida. Let us now return to the mention of the city of Oran. We say that from the aforementioned city of Oran to the city of Tenes is Majariyan, which is 204 miles. From the city of Tenes to Barshak on the coast is 39 miles. From the city of Tenes to the city of Miliana overland is two stages. Between Miliana and Tahert are 3 stages. The city of Barshak is a small city on a hill, with an earthen wall.
