IV. BA. xcix. OF THE SUDAN 47

Lxxxi "Shibla" is no doubt the "Sabil" of AB, CLV.

MS. 3 gives "Shibl" here, and in Lxxxii "Shibayli." Lxxxii The " MuwARiGA " are the "MuwAhida" of AB, clv.

After "the 'Isaylat" MS. 3 inserts "and of Hakim the HAKiMfA," and after "the Hasania" MS. 3 inserts eLol ^_>o Ji^l ^JLfJJ\^ (V^'

Lxxxiii As descendants of 'Affan MS. i gives wjI-aaJI jI wjLiaJI ("The 'Akbab or 'Akab"); MS. 2 gives w)Ua*JI jl ^lJuti\; MS, 3 gives merely "the 'Akbab."

Lxxxiv MS. I gives "Hegaz" for "Hegazi," Lxxxv MS. I gives "Zuhriyyun." Lxxxvi The Shukrab appears again in the next paragraph.

Lxxxvii Instead of "and Missi'r and Ma'atuk" MS. 3 has "and Missir the freedman ('ma'atuk') of Gurfan." For "Sarib" MS. 3 has "Sharib," and for "Shukrab" "Shukrat." MS. 3 has the w^hole passage cast in a different form, and adds the "MezAlit" (i.e. the Masalit of Darfur) after the Fellata, and omits 'Okayl.

By "Tungurab" are meant the TuNGUR of Darfur. "Afnu" is the name given by the people of Bornii to the Haussa (see Cooley, pp. 120, 121).

"Madaka" may be a corruption of Makdisho (see Cooley, p. 127) or of Maghza (Cooley, p. 131).

Lxxxviii MS. 3 gives here "Dagu" for "Dagir," but "Dagir" later. xc For "Thakra" MS. 3 gives "Nakra," and for "Kumdar" "Ku- MiJRA," and for "Dabaytia" "Rayta."

By the Belu possibly are meant the people of that name who formed

an aristocracy among the Beni 'Amir in the East until the Nabtab section ousted them, and who are mentioned by Munzinger {Ostafrikanische

Studien, p. 287) as ruling certain territory north of Massawa (see Seligman, Roy. Anth. Journ. vol. XLiii, 1913, p. 601). Mansfield Parkyns {Life in Abyssinia, I, p. 103) also mentions them near Arkiko and gives some account of them.

xci "Beraghith" means "fleas" or, on the coast, "shrimps." xciii Contrast para, lxvi for the Lahawiyyun.

xciv MS. 3 says " . . .and of Dagir the Dawagira, who are in the east, and the people of el Nuk el Bakht are the descendants of Kelb ibn

Muhammad."

xcvi Cp. B 3, vii.

MS. 2 gives " Sabak" here and in xcvii for " Sabik." MS. 3 gives " Akirit and Adkaym" here and in xcvii. xcvii MSS. I and 3 gives "Kirat" for "Kurtan," but cp. para, clv. MS. 3 says the Gerabi'a are the children of Ba'asham (and descendants of 'Omran).

The word Gerabi'a is a plural formed from Girbu'. There is a section of Zayadi'a called Avi^LAD Girbu'; and the name Geraba'a also occurs as that of a sub-tribe in Sinai.

xcix MS. 3 omits "and the Zayadia."
