[ io8 ] A 2 (NOTES) I Cp. BA, cxxxiii (note), A 3, xv, and AB, xxxix et seq.

"Huzabi" is very doubtful: the copyist writes first ij ("Haydari") 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 unmarried." 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.
