cxxiv See note to CLXXVii.

cxxvii Idris and 'Adlan were Nasir's own brothers. This Sirii is on the west bank just south-west of Karkog. Deberki is nearly due east of Karkog.

cxxviii This 'Abdulla walad Agib is the one first mentioned in para. cxii. See also cxxxviii.

cxxix ''Gave him protection'^ is ji\x,ji\ oUatI . cxxxii Badi walad Ragab had been actually killed by Ahmad walad 'Ali, but (see Lxxxiv) the latter was merely the ally of Nasir and the other sons

of Abu el Kaylak. Ahmad 's grievance had been his deposition from the sheikhship, but a more mortal quarrel existed between Badi and Nasir on

account of the former's having flogged the latter (see Lxxvii). In the result Badi was deposed and killed, and here we have Adlan handing over Nasir,

his own brother, to Badi's son for vengeance to be taken. Jackson (p. 69) gives "Sahi" (^-a-l.-^) or "Hyas" (,.^Lj_a.) for "Subahi" (|^».L^_-tf) which is obviously the correct reading.

Sheikh Dafa'alla el Araki is repeatedly alluded to in D 3. CXL See para. ccix. The reference (p^ ^ 0 " - r- jb^es~j.^\) is to Isma'il Pasha.

CXLI Jackson (pp. 70, 71) wrongly attaches the following description of

Abdulla walad Agib to "Agib."

CXLIV The Mek Sa'ad was mentioned in para. xcv. According to CailUaud's list (iii, 106) Musa'ad {q.v. para. CXLIX) succeeded Sa'ad. This is, according to tribal accounts, quite correct. The ruling family at

Shendi were the Sa'adab, and Musa'ad inherited in due course. Then Muhammad walad Nimr, also a Sa'adabi, rebelled and tried to enlist the aid of the Hamag towards the realizations of his pretensions. The Hamag

{i.e. 'Adlan) played Muhammad false as related in D 7 ; but his son Nimr (see para. cxLVi) escaped and took refuge with the Shukri'a nomads for a time, and then returned in 1801 (see para, cl) and relegated Musa'ad to an inferior position. Jackson (p. 71) has confused Muhammad walad Nimr and his son Nimr walad Muhammad. Cailliaud (copied by Budge, Vol. ii,

p. 206) made the error of allotting Musa'ad and Muhammad each 13 years and not noting that they overlapped ; and Jackson makes things worse by

putting in definite dates (which CaiUiaud did not), viz. Musa'ad 1778-

1791 and Muhammad 1791-1804. See Part III, Chap, i {k) on the subject. CXLV See paras, xcii-xciv. It had been on the advice of the Ga'aliin of Shendi (Awlad Nimr) and others that the king had enslaved Abu el

Kaylak's daughters.

CXLIX " M/iG^Z)///B" = Awlad EL Magdhub. Cp. D i, cxxv; D 3, 123; and D 7, cclxiv.

CL This Mek 'fsawi was a Gamu'i, the eponymous ancestor of the IsAWiA section and nephew of Babikr Sulayman {q.v. note to para, ccxii).

CLi 'Awad el Kerim Abu Sin was the grandson of the Abu 'AH of para. lxxv. His father was 'Ali, and his son was the well-known Ahmad Bey Abu Sin (see para, ccxc and Part III, Chap. 2 {d)).

clii Yusef's biography is No. 256 in D 3. CLiii " The historian states. . . " is f'j^\ J^i {sic in each MS. seen).
