When the Seyyid Said heard of what Kais had done to
Kahtan, and how Sult^n-bin-Sakar had taken his part, and
the position which Sultan had consequently assumed at
fehinas, he remarked to some of his intimates : " Sultan-bin-
Sakar has sided with Kais on account of Kahtan, who took
DaLa and 1 akkan from him without my authority; and when
Sult&n-bin-Sakar wrote to complain to me I told him that I
was too far away to interfere, and left him to settle the dis
pute as he pleased. On receipt of my letter he proceeded to
Daba and I 1 akkan, and retook both those places. I am con
vinced that it was his annoyance on this score which induced
him to coalesce with Kais/' When the Seyyid Said reached
Maskat he was very indignant at some proceedings on the
part of the sheikh Seif-bin-Nebhan, who, on being apprised
thereof, came in person to Maskat, where he died a few days
after. On the Seyyid's arrival he had dispatched letters
summoning all the tribes of ^Oman, and when they came he
showered attentions upon their chiefs, small and great, and
selected the two tribes, the el-Yemeniyyah and the en-
Nizariyyah, to accompany him in his projected attack on
Sohar. Accordingly, large numbers of them from Jaalan,
and Sur, and ezh-Zhahirah joined him. Moreover, before
setting out for Sohar he wrote to Sultan-bin-Sdkar, el-
Hawaly, el-Kasimy, requesting him to forego his alliance

during which interval the payment of the tribute from 'Oman was pro
