[213] MANUSCRIPT D 2 Introduction Muhammad Ahmad '0>l\r, 'omda of the second khut of el Kamlin district and by race one of the Fung, wrote out the MS. here translated for me. He based it on documents in his possession, but it is obviously a precis rather than a copy, and some of the statements concerning the tribes, however true they may be, may have been added from his own knowledge or recollection and not have occurred in the MS.

I The coming of the Beni Ommayya to the Sudan was as follows : Sulayman son of 'Abd el Malik son of Marwan entered the Sudan and Abyssinia and dwelt in them for a space; and afterwards he migrated to the mountains of the Fung and married the daughter of the king Sendal el 'Ag: and they gained the ascendancy over those mountains for a [long] time, and there he begot his sons Ans and Daud. Daud was surnamed "Oudun" and Ans "Unsa"; and Unsa begot his son 'Omara Dunkas, who was the first of the kings of the Fung.
