but always pointed in his discourse. On the death of his
father, Ahmed-bin-Said, all the fortresses of ^Oman were
made over to him, with the exception of those at el-Hazm,
Nakhl and ^abrin. He appointed his brother Kais governor
of Sohar, and he was generally upright in his administration.
After his election he invaded the district of es-Sirr several
times and slew a great many of the Benu-Ghafir. He also
invaded el-Hamra and killed the sheikh of the el-'Abertain.
The people of 'Oman stood in great awe of him. Like his
father he resided at er-Rastak, and he appointed Muham-
mad-bin-Khalfan, the
Wakil

el-Azdy, el-Kahtany, complaining of his [the Imam's] conduct,
and laying things to his charge which were not true. But
some of them were true, and were the common talk through
out 'Oman. One was that Suid-bin-el-Imam-Ahmed was
acting just as he had done when his father made him Wali
over Nezwa; in fact, that he was behaving worse there and
elsewhere in 'Oman, through the medium of his officials.
What they principally referred to was this:—When the
Imam Ahmed, during his administration, made his son Suid
governor of Nezwa, Said wished to set up a monopoly for
the dyeing in indigo there, and erected a building where he
obliged all dyers to dye, and forbade them to dye elsewhere
without his permission, and unless they paid him a certain
tax. At that period the most eminent man at Nezwa was
the learned sheikh Said-es-Sayighy; so the heads of the
people went to him and informed him of the matter. The
sheikh accordingly accompanied them to the market-place,
