matter, and he accordingly ordered his cavalry to attack
them, accompanied by many of the Benu-Jabir and the es-
Seyyabiyyin. On their approach to el-Khatm the people of
that place and those of Finja encountered them, fighting with
muskets, and several were killed on both sides; after which
the assailants retired.
Then Muhammad-bin-Nasir built a lofty tower at Sakhnan
and garrisoned it with a number of the Benu-Julanda and
others, ordering them to stop up the road with stones,
thereby closing it against all messengers from the fort at
Semail, and also against any messengers from Finja to them,
except by way of el-Maltaka and Sarur. By this means the
Seyyid Said was prevented from receiving any intelligence
respecting the fort at Semail. Thereupon he wrote to 'Azzan-
bin-Kais to join him with his forces at the Wadi A seasonal or intermittent watercourse, or the valley in which it flows. -el-Maawal,
in order to aid him in a subsequent attack upon Nakhl. His
object thereby was so to occupy Malik-bin-Seif as to detach
him from Muhammad-bin-Nasir, and to cut off the people of
Nakhl from Nakhl, just as Malik had cut him off from that
place when he joined Miltlak-el-Mutairy and Muhammad-
bin-Nasir against the el-Maawal. (Malik was at this time at
Semail, and had with him some of his Nakhl men.) When
^Azzan and his troops reached the el-Maawal he encamped
at Maslamat, and was received with rapture by the people,
who readily joined him, and marched with him by night
towards Nakhl. They crossed the Jebel-Alban, and then
descended to el-Gharidh, where shots were exchanged be
tween them and the inhabitants, but they hastened forward
to Nakhl, entered it by the Bab-esh-Shaghah, and encamped
in the open space, destroying a portion of the town wall,
and cutting down some of the date-trees. They remained
there three days and then retired to Sohar. Of the people
of Nakhl the only casualty was Salim-bin-'Abdallah-bin-
Muhammad, er-Ruwaishidy; 'Azzan lost six men killed. This
affair greatly embittered the relations between the people of
Nakhl and the el-Maawal.
