IV. A ILL VIII. OF THE SUDAN 137

XXI Cp. BA, CLX. A 2, IX, says: " . . .the Nasirab in the west." XXII Cp. BA, CLxi and A 2, x. XXIII The paragraph is probably a gloss. It does not occur in BA nor A 2. I have not elsewhere met with "Kamus."

XXIV Cp. BA, CLXV and A 2, xi. XXV Cp. BA, CLXii and note to A 2, v-xiii.

From here the text becomes rather corrupt, and A 2 is no longer of use for checking purposes: several names are doubtful.

XXVI I have taken "Awrika" (for "Adrika") from para, xxviii, but either or neither may be correct.

"El Gerayf " is Gerayf HamduUa (see BA, clxiii).

For "Kerriab" BA gives "Karibab": possibly the Kerriat are in- tended,

xxvii Cp. BA, CLXiv. For "Wag AY ab" BA gives "AwGAB." XXVIII This may be a gloss. XXIX Cp. BA, CLXvii-CLXxii and notes.

Twenty-eight sons only are given, and the text in this and the following paragraphs is corrupt and differs in many details from BA: the trees may be compared.

Shukl should be one of the 30 sons and not father of 'Ali Karkus, as is clear from BA, CLXXi and A 11, LXV.

For " Um Halayb " BA gives " Adam Halayb," which is probably right. XXX Thirteen names only are given. "Hankal" (J.ix&) has been cor-

rected in the text by the owner in pencil to ^J•xJ^ft> (sic). "El 'Arashkol" is the name of a hill near el Dueim on the White Nile: Cp. BA, CLxxii,

For "el Kabush" cp. para, xxxix and BA, clxvii. Kabushia is on the Nile close to the south of the pyramids of Meroe.

XXXII For "el Kanbalawi" see Part III, Chap, i (k). XXXV These are the Nafa'ab section. XXXVIII These are the Nifi'ab section. XXXIX Cp. para, xxx for Kabush. Seven sons are missing from the list. XL Cp. BA, CLi and A 2, xiv. Sections xl-xlvi correspond closely to A 2, xiv-xxi.

XLii "Mimais" is no doubt the "Mias" of other versions. XLiii A 2 (q.v. note) adds a remark as to the descendants of these two men. XLv Cp. BA, cxxxviii and A 2, xix. XLViii Cp. A 2, XXIV and D 6, xii. L Cp. A 2, XXV and D 6, xv, LI Cp. A 2, XXIX and D 6, xxiii. Lii Cp. A 2, xxvii and D 6, xxv. Liii Cp. A 2, xxx and D 6, xxvi. Liv Cp. A 2, xxxi and D 6, xiii.

The reference is to the conquest of Bahnasa (Oxyrhynchus) in 642 a.d.

by 'AbduUa ibn Sa'ad (see Budge, vol. ii, p. 184, and Burckhardt, Nubia..., p. 528).

Lv-LViii Cp. A 2, xxxii-xxxv and D 6, xxviii, xxxiii and xxxv.
