the ancients by the name of Tylos, and are mentioned by Arrian. We
have no satisfactory accounts of them from that period, until in the
possession of the Portuguese, who, soon after Ormus was taken by Albu-
queique, established settlements here and at Kateef, and monopolised
a gieat portion of the pearl fishery and trade of the Gulf. They were
expelled soon after the fall of Ormus, by the Persians, who were shortly
a tei expelled by Houd bin Jamain, the Shaikh of Alassar's people,
w 10 possessed the island for several years, when it was again con
quered, after a severe struggle, by the Persians, and the whole of the
■t assar town laid in ruins. Reinforcements soon arriving, the Alassar
peop e again made head, and drove the Persians out of the island, and
se\cial towns on the ruins of the former ones, which are to be
seen at the present time.
