52 THE NATIVE MANUSCRIPTS iv. ba. cli.

CLi Cp. A 2, XIV and A ii, xl. Of "Khanfar" AB says it is sometimes wrongly spelt " Ganfar." A i gives " 'Atia" for " 'Abayta."

CLii Of Alukbal and MukAbla AB says they sometimes occur vv^rongly

as MukAbil and AIukabili'a respectively.

CLiii A 1 in place of "are the Nebah" gives "are the Nebi'h or, as is said, the Nebah."

CLiv A I gives " Subuh hinva Abu Merkha" (" Subuh, that is Abu Mer- kha"). In place of Hamayd el Nawam AB gives "Hamayd father of

Nawam" and says the accounts which speak of "Hamayd el Nawami" are wrong.

A 2, V also gives Hamayd el Nawam, ancestor of the NawAIma.

A 3 xxviii {q.v. note) and A 4, ix speak of "Hamayd el Nawam, ancestor of the NawAmi'a." Cp. A 11, xvi.

CLV Cp. para, xcvii.

CLVI MS. 2 gives iu elar-ixJI for i»jlai-^l.

MS. 3 omits "or Ghanum." CLviii Cp. A II, xviii-xx. A I by aslip gives "Ghanim" for "Ghanim." MS. 3 adds the Gimi'Ab as descended from Gamu'a.

CLix MS. 3 omits the words following " HasanAb. ..." CLX Cp. A II, XXI. MS. 3 omits this paragraph. CLXi Cp. A 2, X and A 11, xxii. AB does not pursue this pedigree beyond

'Arman and Abu Khamsin, except to mention 'Arman's son 'Adlan. A i gives "DuAiba" as among the reputed descendants of Hamaydan, but AB (ccix) calls them "DuAbia."

CLXii Cp. A 2, V and A II, XXV.

CL.xiii Cp. All, XXVI. MS. 3 gives "KerriAb" and "KitbAb" for "KaribAb" and "KixfAB," and omits the BeliAb.

CLXIV Cp. All, XXVII. CLXV Cp. A 2, XI; A II, xxiv and ABC, xii. MS. 3 omits Tumayr and

adds 'Abd Rabbihi, Shabbu, and Bubai. It also alters in the subsequent paragraphs the order in which the descendants of the sons of 'Arman are given.

CLXVii,^^^^^. CY>.Aii,xiaxetseq. MS. 3 says "'Abd el 'Al had 24 sons: they include Muhammad, ancestor of the Kabushia and the KandilAb,

and 'Abd el Kerim, ancestor of the 'AshAnik, and HasabuUa, ancestor of the HasabullAb, and Rafa'i, ancestor of the RAfa'Ab, and Gadulla, an-

cestor of the GadolAb, and Khadr, ancestor of the KhadrAb, and Kaltut,

ancestor of the Kalti'Ab, and Kasr, and Beshr, and Musa, and 'Omar, and Tisa'a Kulli, and, the tenth of them, Muhammad el Nigayd, ancestor of the NigaydAb."

CLXXI It is curious that both BA and A 11 (xxix) give "Karkus" with a J, but "Karakisa" with a J.

The words inserted in a square bracket have evidently been omitted both in MS. i and 2 by error: their insertion makes the total 30 sons correct and squares with paras. BA, CLXXii and A 11, xxix.

For "'Abuda" MS. i gives " 'Abud " here, but "'Abuda" in para. CLXXII. A II (xxix and lxv) gives 'Abudab.
