SA^ID-BIN-SULTAN.
2G9
On the 8th of Shaawal Muhonna attacked el-Mdtrah, and
after coming within gun-shot of Kais's party from the
heights of Sih-el-Harmel both armies retired.
Then Hamid-bin-Nasir-bin-Muhammad, el-Grhafiry, and
Himyar-bin-Suleiman, el-Yaaruby, the former accompanied
by seven thousand of the Nizariyyah, arrived at Barkah,
halting at Nuaman, whither the Seyyid Said-bin-Sultan
went to meet them from Maskat, and renewed the covenant
which he had already made with them, distributing robes
of honour among them and such supplies as they required.
Now, when the seyyid Muhammad-bin-Khalfan, the Wakil,
saw that the power of the Seyyids, the sons of Sultan, and
also of Bedr-bin-Seif, was on the increase, while that of
Kais^s partisans was on the wane, he wrote to Muhenna-
bin-Muhammad, el-Yaaruby, for an interview with him at
Killabuh. At that interview, Muhammad acting for Kais,
and Muhenna for the sons of the Seyyid Sultan, for Bedr
and the daughter of the Imam, the following conditions of
peace were agreed upon ;—Kais to have the forts of es-Sib
and el-Khaburah, to evacuate el-Matrah, and return to
Sohar. (Muhenna was a very upright and conscientious
man: when the Benu-Ghafir wished to enter Maskat, he,
fearing that if they once got into the place, being so for
midable a body, they might not leave it again ; and, further,
knowing that they had already entered into communications
with Sultan-bin-Sakar, el-Kasimy, el-Hawaly, and concerted
with him to that effect, and that Sultan was already collect
ing his forces, forthwith dispatched a messenger from the
Seyyids to Hamid-bin-Nasir and his army, with a sum of
iorty thousand dollars and other presents, informing them
at the same time that as peace had been concluded between
the Seyyids and Kais, their presence was no longer re
quired.) Kais accordingly embarked with his army for
Sohar, but on reaching Barkah he went straight to Nakhl,
fearing that he might bo pounced upon by Hamid-bin-Nasir.
