tAyih IBN ZAMZIR.
A Shaikh of the Sarraj, B. Rabi'ah, head of the Zamzir, a branch of the ruling house
of the Sarraj. He split with Qassab in October, 4916, and came to live with Fahad ibn
Ghadhban. Granted a subsistence allowance by us. He was offered land under
Muhammad al Qassab, but refused the condition of agreeing to regard Muhammad as his
Shaikh. Now in the ‘Ali Gharbi district without land or allowance.
thAmir IBN SHlA‘, shaikh.
Shaikh of the Korjah, which with the Zamil make up the Sawa'ad tribal group. The
two constituents of the Sawa'ad farm the Musharrah Muqata'ah on the Musharrah canal,
north-east of ‘Amarah. Thamir’s father, Shia'al Husain, used to be the principal farmer
here but he was defaulted, was taken to Basrah and ran away to the Turks. Both the
Koriah and the Zamil turned against him. Thamir’s brothers, Shabib and ‘Ah, and his
uncle Ghadhban, have shares in the farm. (Cxhadhban died in October, 1916, and his
son Sadiq inherited his share.) The four tenants used to share the estate m quarters
but Thamir now takes a half and the rest have a half between them. Thamir has behaved
very well since the occupation of ‘Amarah. He pays up his revenue and provides the
labour required of him. A very good fellow.
