THE IMAMS OF 'OMAN.
Thereupon the Seyyid, having come to terms with the
people of el-Jamimy, went with his brother Salim and en
camped at Sabarat-Habashy, the remainder of his army,
which numbered seven thousand men, encamping from the
Masjid of Bayak [?] to el-Kharijiyyah. Then the Seyyid
ordered the force to move against Himyar, and when they
got near er-Rdha-el-'Aliyah they were met by Himyar's fol
lowers, who gave them battle and put them to flight, killing
Asad, the Nubian, one of the Seyyid's servants, the com
mander of the el-Hadharim, 1 and several others. Thereupon
the Seyyid Said sent some of the chiefs of the Benu-Hasan
with Najim-es-Seyyaby to invite Ilimyar to a conference,
promising him immunity, and also permission to reside in
the town. On his arrival the Seyyid ordered him to be
confined in the fort, much to the disgust of the Benu-Hasan
chiefs, who on seeing how exasperated the Seyyid was
against him joined him in the prison and remained with
him. Eventually, the Seyyid released him and took him to
Barkah, and from thence to Maskat, and after detaining him
there for a few days gave him permission to reside at et-
Tau, but not at Nakhl. Nevertheless, six months after he
went thither, and posted himself in el-Hamam ; whereupon
the Seyyid again levied the el-Harth, the el-Hajariyyin, the
Arabs of esh-Sharkiyyah, of el-Yemeniyyah, as well as those
of the coast, also the Benu-Kharus and some of the Nizar-
iyyah of Semail, the el-Hawasanah, and the el-Hadd^n, and
marched with them to Nakhl, where he was joined by some
of the el-Maawal, the people of el-Hajar, and of the coast.
He then ordered the el-Maawal to climb the mountain of esh-
Shaibah, and to walk along its ridge by night until they
reached a spot overlooking el-Hamam, when they were to
attack Himyar's followers, who occupied the Wadi A seasonal or intermittent watercourse, or the valley in which it flows. below,
with musketry. The el-Hawasanah he directed in like man
ner to ascend the mountain overlooking the spring of el-
