36.—A c amariin.
A small Zeidi tribe, living round Jebel Qarah on the
boundaries of the Hashid country, about twenty miles north
west of Sheharah. They own fifteen or twenty small villages,
of which the largest is Beit Jashish. Their chief Sheikh
is Sheikh Daghshar, a man of about fifty-five who has consi
derable influence in the country round. He is a great
friend of the Imam and has frequently tried to make peace
between him and Idrisi.
37.—Dhu Husein.
The Dhu Husein are a powerful tribe of Sherifial descent
inhabiting the fertile oasis of Jauf. Although somewhat
isolated by reason of the distance which separates them
from the main centres of the Yemen, they have always
kept in close political and commercial touch and have
played an important part in its history.^ Their relations
have always been intimate with the Hashid and Be i, ^
so much so that they are sometimes spoken of as forming
an integral part of that confederation. The troubles
between the latter and the Imam have had their effect
on the Dhu Husein and drawn them into two opposing
camps, of which the larger seems to have remained faithfu
to its old allegiance.
