Bani Khalid; they had their
headquarters at Thaj in Wadi»
al-Miyahi and the oasia of Hasa
is said to have been subject to
them. The Al Musallam are
stated to have been originally
one of their sections, and it is
believed that a considerable
number of Al Humaid have
become incorporated with the
Muntafik of Turkish 'Iraq. The
few who remain in the Hasa
Sanjaq are all nomads, and

About this item
- Content
Volume II of III of the Gazetteer of Arabia. The Gazetteer is alphabetically-arranged and this volume contains entries K through to R.
The Gazetteer is an alphabetically-arranged compendium of the tribes, clans and geographical features (including towns, villages, lakes, mountains and wells) of Arabia that is contained within three seperate bound volumes. The entries range from short descriptions of one or two sentences to longer entries of several pages for places such as Iraq and Yemen.
A brief introduction states that the gazetteer was originally intended to deal with the whole of Arabia, "south of a line drawn from the head of the Gulf of 'Aqabah, through Ma'an, to Abu Kamal on the Euphrates, and to include Baghdad and Basrah Wilayats" and notes that before the gazetteer could be completed its publication was postponed and that therefore the three volumes that now form this file simply contain "as much of the MSS. [manuscript] as was ready at the time". It further notes that the contents have not been checked.
