IV. c 8. XXXVII. OF THE SUDAN 173
bondwoman of the Halanka']. By her he ['Abd el Rahman] begot el 'Irak Abu Denana; and they left. . ., etc." The meaning is apparently that they left the Halanka country and settled on the Nile near the Magadhib {i.e. the AwLAD EL Magdhub in the vicinity of el Damer). Cp. D 5 (c), xviii.
For Hammad Abu Denana see D 3, No. 141.
For "Mahmud walad Zaid" No. i has only "walad Zaid." XXXIII "The people of el Sheikh el 'Ebayd" are the Um Dubban people under the headship of Sheikh el 'Abbas el 'Ebayd Muhammad Bedr.
XXXIV No. I continues "And of the seed of Ibrahim was 'Awadulla Kabu of the Awlad Batil at Gerayfat Omdurman who are descended from Ibrahim ; and the Kalakla the children of their [A. BAtil ?] maternal aunt
Kalkala el Rubatia, who were called Kalakla" [emend from " Kalalkla"] \sc. after] "their mother Kalkala, an 'Awadia of the Ga'aliyyun 'Awadia.
The mother of 'Awadulla Kabu was one of the Nuba of el Haraza Um Ked who are descendants of 'Abd el Hadi walad Muhammad Dolib, and she was ultimately descended from el Sheikh Rikab. This then is the pedi-
gree of their mother; and all of these were descended from Ibrahim the
younger." Cp. note XII for intermarriage with el Haraza people. XXXV Muhammad walad Abu Wanaysa is No. 172 in D 3.
After " DuALiYYUN " No. i adds, in parenthesis, " NAs walad HAshi " : cp. para. xii.
Shaybun is a hill in the Nuba Mountains : its locality used to be famous in Turkish and pre-Turkish days as containing gold. The people there are entirely distinct, racially, from their neighbours. See note to D 7, ccc.
For "GabAgira" No. i gives "HabAgira." In explanation of "the NakAki'z" No. i adds "The descendants of Sulayman el Nakaz, whose mother was daughter of el Malik Sulayman
the Gamu'i"; and, as regards the Fadliyyun, No. i speaks of them as the descendants of Muhammad el Fadl, and includes them among the NakAki'z.
XXXVI No. I speaks of the MahAwasHa as "descendants of Mahush (Mahawwash ?)," and gives the other sections mentioned in this paragraph as descended from " Muhammad " {i.e. Muhammad el Munshelakh probably).
After this No. i continues (omitted in No. 2) as follows: "Muhammad Musallam had two daughters, Gaiza and el Khidayra. Gaiza was mother of the MoghArba, and el Khidayra of the FAdnia, who are descended from
el Sherif el Sayyid el Hasib el Nesib ibn Muhammad ibn el Imam 'Ali,
God bless him, who is known as Ibn el Hanafia."
XXXVII In No. I Musallam is here called "Musallam el Abwab son of
Atif . . . ."
At the close of No. i there is added "As for the version that Musallam was descended from Sultan, it is not trustworthy: the fact is merely that his mother el Zahra was daughter of Sultan, and fame connected him with his [maternal] grandfather because he was his follower and so [his name]
became mixed with that of his mother's relations." BA, A 2, A 11, C 9, D I, and D 6 all agree with C 8. D 2 alone suggests a descent from Sultan (who was a descendant of Guhayna).
