A 2 (NOTES)
I Cp. BA, cxxxiii (note), A 3, xv, and AB, xxxix et seq.
"Huzabi" is very doubtful: the copyist writes first i^j^^ ("Hay-
dari") and then over it ^Jf'>j^^ ("Huzabi") or ^Jj-x»- ("Hadzabi"), II Cp. A 8, V. III Cp. BA, cxxxv (note).
v-xiii Subuh Abu Merkha is here called "Subuh Abu Muraka'a, but this form does not occur elsewhere. The only emendations made in paras,
v-xiii is "Ghanim" for "Ghanima."
The" Maid ia" occur also as "Magidia" (seenotetoD 3, 200 and 108). Para, xi closes with "They" (sc. the 13 sons of 'Arman) "died un-
married." This may be a gloss by the latest copyist to save the trouble of giving any more lists of descendants. In para, xlii he actually gives certain
descendants of 'Arman by way of a postscript.
Para, xiii opens with "Hammad el Bahkarub begot the Nahkar" (by slip for Bahkar), although Hammad el Bahkarub has not been previously
mentioned. Presumably he is the " Hammad surnamed Kati " of para, xii,
and "bi Kati" may be an error for "bi Bahkarub." A 11 (xxv and xxvii) calls him "el Bahkur."
XIV-XXI Cp. A II, XL.
As to Rubat and Sa'ad el Ferid being sons of Mismar see note on the genealogical tree.
"Makbud" (^*i.«) is an emendation of "Mafdub" (w^-ai-o). "Sakarang" is an emendation of "SakArag," and "Bornu" of "BORNA."
A 2 (para, xvii) says "Hakim begot the HAkimAb, the people of Arko Island. Gabir begot the Mahass, the kings of Khandak and Dongola"; but A 1 1 omits this.
After "kings of Tekali" A 2 adds "who are the original royal stock," and after "TomAm" adds "in the west": A 11 contains neither of these remarks.
XXII This and para, xxiii are not in A 11, though cp. A 11, lix.
For "Abu 'AbduUa" see note to BA, ccxiii. "Is descended from Sa'ad" is given literally as "is son of Sa'ad." XXIV Cp. BA, cxviii, cxxiv; A 11, xlviii; C i ; D 2, xix and D i, cxxxi.
The version of D i reconciles the two accounts given in A 2. A 11
gives " 'Omara" for " 'Amir."
Wiistenfeld (q.v. S) gives no "Sulayman" as son of Khalid: the latter was of the Beni Makhzum.
The name "Ibayrak" is clearly connected with "BerAkna," the name of one of the main sub-tribes of the KawAhla.
