On hearing this Mani' fled first to Finja, but its inhabitants
would not receive him. Next he joined the Christians, who
held Maskat, but shortly after left them; ultimately he went
to Finja, and attached himself to Muhammad-bin-Jufair, el-
Jabry, who was then at Lawa of Sohar. 1 The Imam now
ordered the sheikh 'Abdallah-bin-Muhammad-bin-Ghassan,
his governor at Nezwa, and the author of the work en
titled A Treasury for the Good in the Choice of the Best?
[Sovereigns?], to proceed against the insurgents with a large
army which he had assembled for that purpose. On his
arrival at Balad-Sit, Muhammad-bin-Seif, el-Hinay, and his
followers evacuated the fort and fled to Nezwa to ask pardon
of the Imam, which he accorded on hearing that his governor
'Abdallah had razed the fort. Then when all the tribes of
'Oman had submitted to his authority, the Imam assembled
a large army, and taking with him the learned sheikh Kha-
mis-bin-Said, er-Rastaky, he started for Yankal, the inhabi
tants of which had rebelled. He took the fort after a few
days' siege, and appointed Nijad-bin-Himham, el-'Obry,
governor over the people, with full powers to administer
justice among them.
A few days after the Imam's return to er-Rastak he as
sembled a large army and placed it under the command of
sheikh 'Abdallah-bin-Muhammad-bin-Ghassan, en-Nezawy,
ordering him to proceed to el-Jauf of Tawwam. He was
accompanied on this expedition by sheikh Khamis-bin-
Ruwaishid, ed-Dhanky, by Hafizh-bin-Jumaat, en-Nezawy,
