Before concluding this list of the Arab tribes, which would be enlivened
if historical knowledge were not a thing almost unknown in this part of
the world, I shall mention a few tribes who have founded something like
an empire in the south part of the so-called desert:—
El ʿArúsíyín, about 600 A.H.
El Erhámena, who wrested the empire from Shenán el ʿArúsi.
Welád Bílle, who having succeeded to the Erhámena, became very rich
and powerful, till, as the Arabs say, they destroyed their empire
themselves, by provoking the wrath of the Sheikh El Mukhtár el Kebír,
about sixty years ago, when their power was crushed by the Meshedúf
and the Zenágha.
A smaller empire was founded by the Welád Bú-Faida, who had their
principal seats round Kasári in El Hódh, N.W. from Bághena, till they
were overpowered by the Áhel e’ Zenághi.
