from all the tribes of the el-Yemeniyyah, and after collecting
a large force marched to Xezwa. Finding on his arrival there
that Ibn-Mazrua was at Behla,—the governor of which at
that time was Muhammad-bin-Suleimfin, el-Yaaruby,—he
started thither. Jbn Mazrua's force at Behla consisted of
the el-'Obriyytn and the Benu-Shakil, who had been mus
tered by Muhammad-bin-Suleinmn when he heard that the
Seyyid Said was in esh-Sharkiyyah collecting an army, and
when Ibn-Mazrua came to him he advised him not to go to
el-Bediyyah, nor yet to any part of esh-Sharkiyyah, on that
account. While they were conversing on this topic, a mes

started for Sohar after sunset, Suleiman-el-'Adiwy and
some intimate friends accompanying them. The Seyyid
Said reached Sohar towards evening, whereas they did not
arrive till towards dawn the following day, utterly ignorant
then that he had anticipated them. On learning that he was
there and that he had taken possession of the fort, they
returned at once to er-Rastak. 1 Salim-bin-Said, imme-
