generous, and his diligence and perseverance were very-
great. He died in the fort of er-Rastak, on Wednesday,
in the month of Dzul-Kaadah, a.h . 1188 [January 1775],
leaving seven male children, namely :—
1. Hilal. 5. Sultan.
2. Sa'id. 6. Talib.
3. Kais. 7. Muhammad.
4. Seif.
Also three daughters, whose names I forbear mentioning,
for propriety's sake. He was buried on the west of the
fort of er-Rastak, and his son Said built a fine dome over
the grave, which is a Mazdr 1 up to the present time.
On the death of the Imam Ahmed the heads of the in
habitants of er-Rastak and other people of 'Oman assembled
together and ratified the Imamate to his son Said-bin-
Ahmed. They had wished to confer it on his brother Hilal,
he being the eldest and most intelligent of the late Imam's
sons; but he suffered from a cataract in his eyes, which de
prived him of sight, and he went to Sind to be cured. Ho
remained in Sind for some time and died there. His grave,
which is covered with a dome, is well known at Diyul. 2

1 Literally, a Place of Visitation. These Mazdrs are occasionally
visited with the view of paying honour to the deceased, or for the pur
pose of urging some special petition, in the persuasion that the merits of
the departed will insure a favourable reception of the prayers which are
offered up there. Lane gives a detailed account of the mode of such
visitations in Egypt. Modern Egyptians, vol. ii, p. 53-66.
2 This name occurs at p. 88, where it undoubtedly stands for the
island of Diu in Guzerat.
