VII.—MOORISH TRIBES IN EL GÁDA, AZEMMÚR, EL HÁHA, ERGSHÉSH, GÍDI, AND
THE ADJOINING DISTRICTS.
These districts, which I treat in one chapter merely on account of the
scanty and imperfect information which as yet I have been able to
collect with regard to them, comprise a large tract of country in the
N.W. quarter of the desert, and are of very different character. El Gáda
lies between Tíris and Wádi Nún, being separated from the latter by the
smaller district called Shebéka, and seems to bear almost the same
character as Tíris. But it appears to be divided into two different
portions, one of which is called “El Mirkh,” and the other “El Bédh.”
Gáda in a certain respect forms part of the larger district called
Azemmúr. The most celebrated localities of this district are: Meskór,
Ázafay, Ágeshár, Míjik; from here N.E. Asumárik, Tasumárit, El Genáter,
Zádenás, Bésharíf, Kedáye-Yetséllem, El Bellebúna, Stélet bel Girdán,
Íshirgán, Agárzezís, with the sebkha Abána, Úm el Roesén, el Méhajíb.
