The " Nuba" here mentioned are those of G. el Haraza and other hills of northern Kordofan.

CL See Part I, Chap. 4. CLi Cp. paras. CLXxxviii and viii. CLiv Cp. BA, cxix, etc.

"Afttiria" (Ijj^I) may be an error for "Uruba" {i.e. Europe). CLVI Cp. note to para. xxii. CLVii Contrast D 2, xxxix. CLVI 1 1 Contrast D 2, xxxvii. CLix See para, lxiii. CLXI Um Gurfa is a district near to the east of Kagmar in Kordofan.

CLXXiii "Mogharba" is the usual plural of "Moghrabi" ("Moor"). The Arabic here is i^il>*^'»' l>jJJ1 j^ ^j.f^'^aiS ^>«^yA«<pt .

CLXXV A Zurruk el Moghrabi is mentioned in Hagi Khalfa (Vol. ill,

p. 418, No. 6222) as a joint author of Risdlat el Turiik. The Mogharba

of the Blue Nile claim descent from "Ahmad Zerruk" and speak of him as a wall of the Shadhalia tarika in Tunis, and a Sherif. See Part III, Chap. 4 {b).

CLXXVi Of these Ashraf the only ones I have been able to identify are :

1. Zurruk el Moghrabi, for whom see the preceding note. 2. Abu el Hasan el ShadhaU, for whom see note to para. Li of AB. He died in 1258.

3. El ShibU: viz. Bedr el Din Muhammad ibn AbduUa el Damashki el Terabulusi. He was a Hanafite and died in a.d. 1367-8. He wrote

Akdyn el Morgan, Mahdsin el Wasdil, etc. (See Hagi Khalfa's Lexicon, Vol. I, p. 386, No. 1088, and Vol. v, pp. 453 and 413.)

4. Ibrahim el Dasuki was a Sufi Imam of Egypt. He was born in

1240 and died in 1277 a.d. (see Na'um Bey, Part I, pp. 130 ff.). Ahmad el Warak, Muhammad el Thauri, and Abd el Rahim el Bura'i I cannot identify either from Yakut (Irshdd el Arib) or Hagi Khalfa.

CLXXVIII The Arabic of paras, clxxviii and CLXXix is as follows:

This is taken probably from Ibn Khaldun (Bk. 2, p. 105), and the remark

about the Berber may be a misunderstanding of Ibn Khaldun's quotation from Ibn Sa'id to the effect that next to the Zing are the "Berbera."

CLXXX The Fung regard themselves as Beni Ommayya slightly leavened

by negroes. The Hamag are considered as Ga'aliIn {i.e. AbbAsia) leavened by negroes. Where they make a distinction as between Beni Ommayya and Beni Abbas our author, looking rather to the black element, distinguishes only between Zing and Nuba.
