7. The Ateihah.
The ATEIBAH ('Uteibah) are the most powerful tribe in Central
Arabia, strong in arms and great camel-breeders. Among all the nomads
they are second in importance only to the Anazah. They occupy the
eastern side of the Hejaz with the volcanic harrahs between the Hajj road
and the Central Arabian Steppes. Their pasturages run east to Qasim and
Woshm, and south to the diras of the Qahtan,of the Buqum and Shalawah,
and of the Sebei'. This country abounds in wells; it has a regular if small
rainfall in winter, and is not wholly dry in early autumn, when it receives
the end of the monsoon rains. It supports large herds of sheep and
camels, and in places the grass grows so richly that the Bedouins gather
a hay-crop ; everywhere there is a low growth of acacias, and game is
plentiful. The clans in the Hejaz, such as the Helissah, Meraukhah,
Kurzan, Sebbahah, Marashidah, and Semarrah, are small in numbers and
breed sheep only, ihere is a little cultivation in the harrahs, no moie
than palm-groves and small Ateibah villages.
