and his brothers, also various Seyyids, Sheikhs, and notables
of Nawa, Rube'atein, Riyashia, and Udein. They quote with
enthusiasm an article which appeared in the “ Qibla,” calling
upon the Arabs of all parts of Arabia and Syria to combine, but
judging by the names of the signatories, Seyyid Yahya appears
to have confined his propagandist activities to anti-Zeidist
