THE IMAMS OF ^OMAN.

sian cavalry. (This engagement took place on the hill of
Sih-el-Harmel, and the spot where Seif-bin-Himyar and his
followers fell and were buried, now called " Musarra-esh-
Shuhada", [the Arena of the Martyrs,] is covered with white
pebbles; the other hillocks facing the Beit-el-! alj indicate
the graves of the Persians who were slam on the occasion.)
The surviving Persians then proceeded to Barkah, where they
encamped, and many of their cavalry went to Karyat on
fleet horses, killed a number of people there, and took many
women and children captive, and sent them to Shnaz.
Among these were two children of my grandfather, Ilazik-
bin-Bukhayyit, brothers ot my father, Muhammad-bin-llazik.

Matrah and its other defences likewise. This is the most
authentic account. Another is, that the Persians were beaten
off twice, and never took either of the forts at Maskat or that
of el-Matrah—that they simply attacked them, but were re
pulsed, and then returned to Sohar. The latter statement
rests on no good authority, whereas I myself heard from
contemporary elders, who were well acquainted with what
took place in ^Oman at that time, that the Persians did cap
ture the above-named forts.
The Persians who were encamped at Sohar continued the
siege there, and so effectually cut off all supplies from the
besieged in the fort and within the walls, that the price of
