"15/7 جزر حوار" [و‎‎٧‎٣] (٥٤٠/١٥٠)

-«e the under-signed are subjects of the
Ruler of Bahrain, and give our confession and a
statement of our real knowledge of Hawar Island.
Hawar Islands belong to Bahrain from olden times
V
and ruled by the rulers of Bahrain. It is our
dwelling place now and was the dwelling place of
our fathers, forefathers and their predecessors
from son to father since long time. We are all
ruled by the rulers of Bahrain. No one had any
control over our ancestors and their predecessors
who lived in this Island except the rulers of Bah
rain. We have in Hawar houses built of stones
inherited by us from our fathers and their predeces
sors. We are repairing them whenever there is a
need for repair. We have our fishing nets built
of stones from long built by our fathers, grand
fathers and their predecessors which we are re
pairing when there is a need for such repair.
These are in addition to the temporary nets which
we put up in Hawar sea near our houses for fishing
during the fishing season. All these things had
been done by our predecessors in this island who
were subjects of the rulers of Bahrain. We submit
this petition giving the above statement for informa
tion. Dated the 5th Shawal, 1357.
