Among other families of the same stock mentioned by our
author as existing in ^Oman is that of Haniy,—sometimes
written Hana or Hina,—the brother of Nebhan, 1 His
descendants are indiscriminately styled the Benu-Hinah^ el-
Hinawiyyah, el-Hinawy, and el-Hinay, (the Hinavi of English
writers), and constitute the majority of the Bedu inhabitants
of'Oman proper. They have always exercised considerable
influence in the country, and in more recent times have come
to be regarded as representing one of the two great parties
—the other being the el-Ghafiry—into which the population
is generally said to be divided.
Several of the earlier Imams are recorded to have belonged
to the el-Yahmad, but no particulars are given of their
pedigi'ee beyond the statement that they were Azdites.
As just remarked, the principal rivals of the el-Hinay—
and it may be added of the Azdites generally—are the
Benu-Grhafir, respecting whose descent our author is abso
lutely silent. This may be accounted for on the ground
that his avowed object was to write a laudatory history of
the el-Azd of 'Oman, and that it was undertaken at the
request of a member of the ruling dynasty, which claims to
belong to that family. The cognomen " Ghafir " afforded
me no clue to the parentage of the 'Omany tribes bearing
that name, and I am still at a loss to account for its deriva
tion ; but the fact that they ai-e also styled Benu-Xasr''
indicated the probability that they form part of the posterity
of Nasr-bin-Mo'awiyah—born about a.d . 315—one of the
sons of Hawazin, the son of Kais-'Ailau, the son of Modhar,
the son of Maadd, the son of 'Adnan, and consequently of
Ishmaelitic (?) not of Kahtany origin, as Palgrave makes
them. 2 This presumption is confirmed by the intimate rela-
1 M. Caussin de Perceval mentions the Benu-IIaniy and the Benu-
Nebhan, the descendants of 'Amr bin Ghauth, as among the most con
siderable of the Tai tribes. Hist, des Arabts, vol. ii. p. 606.
