4. The Muteir and the Barnyah.
The MUTEIR, closely akin to their western neighbours, the Harb and
the Ateibah, are people of the north, claiming descent through Mudhar
from Ma'add. Their territory touches the
Persian Gulf
The historical term used to describe the body of water between the Arabian Peninsula and Iran.
round Koweit, and
runs down the Batin till it reaches Ibn Sa'ud's district near Zilfi. The
Beni Khalid and the 'Ajman lie to the south. A turbulent tribe, some
1,500 tents strong, the Muteir stand in close relations with the Sultan of
Koweit ; but with Ibn Rashid they are perpetually at feud, and no year
passes without raiding expeditions from one dira to the other. It was
a Muteiri who in 1908 killed the Emir 'Abd el-'Aziz, father of the present
Emir of Ha'il, at Raudhat el-Mahanna, near Boreidah. The Muteir harry
the outlying settlements of Qasim, and not infrequently interrupt the
caravan traffic to the Gulf. Their principal Sheikh, Feisal ed-Derwish,
pastures in the Koweit area, and is lord over some 800 tents. All the
Muteir belong to the confederation of Ibn Sa'ud, and contribute fighting
men to his raiding expeditions. They are camel-breeders and entirely
nomadic ; they possess no cultivated ground.
The BARRl YAH are an independent tribe, but so closely allied with
the Muteir that they are often held to be of the same stock. In all poli
tical relations they are at one with the Muteir, and, like them, they come
under the authority of Ibn Sa'ud. Their pasturages are in Qasim. The
last report concerning them is that they opposed 'Abdullah, the second
son of the Sherif, when he raided Sedeir at the end of 1914 in order to
collect overdue taxes from the eastern Ateibah, and that after some
fighting they were defeated.
