open it, which they did. When Sultan and his force had
passed through, the former turned to 'Aly-bin-'Abdallah
and said : " May God reprobate you, you traitor ! Begone !
for I shall not leave you in charge of the gate." After Sultan
had thus dismissed him, he appointed Sirhan-bin-Suleiman,
el-Jabry, and one hundred of the Benu-Jabir to hold the

Imam Ahmed, as follows: "I have taken Maskat, intending

Maskat." Kais followed out these instructions, and wrote
