1. The history of the Berbers A/-Batér, their origin, division, tribes, &c. 
according to their own records; and firstly of the tribe Nafiseh. 
2. Of the great tribe Nafzdweh. 
3. Of the tribe Lawéteh, derived from ABTAR. 
4. Of the tribe Bent Futan (my manuscript has F¥in), descended from 
Zaniseu by his eldest son Tuamsten. 
5. Of the Zowdweh and the Zowagheh, who are likewise descended from 
the great and numerous tribe Zariseh. 
6. The annals of the tribe Miknaseh, and of all its clans and branches 
sprung from Warsrar which still exist among the tribes of Zariseh, and 
of the countries possessed by the Aikndseh in the two Moghribs, espe- 
cially under the dynasty Bent Wasiil, kings of Sajalmasa. 
7. Of Beni Abi’-l-Afidti, kings of Tasdl, descended from the Mikndseh, 
and of their conquests and dominion. 
8. The annals of the Berdnis, and firstly of the Hawwéreh, their division, 
tribes, and branches, with an account of the spreading of their clans in the 
provinces of Afrikieh and of the two Moglribs, al-Ausat and al-Aksa, or 
the modern states of Algiers and Morocco. 
9. Of the Azddjeh, the Mostdseh, and the Ajiseh, who are descended 
from Bernas, and how they propagated themselves in Africa. 
10. Of the tribe Ketdémeh, and how they were greater, nobler, and more 
civilized than other Berber tribes, and how they gave chiefs and rulers to 
the other clans of the nation. Here the author proves that the Zowdweh are 
really a clan of the tribe Ketdmeh, and consequently children of Bernas 
and not of Mapreis or Aprdr. 3 
Then commences the history of the Sanhajeh, their tribes and dominions 
as well in Africa as in Spain, which are described with great accuracy and 
very circumstantially, in a series of more than sixty chapters ; after which 
the annals of the other tribes are unfolded more or less circumstantially, 
as the recorded events and the revolutions seem to require. The third 
chapter of the Sanhdjeh annals contains an extremely interesting and 
valuable topographical description of the modern empire of Morocco, and 
particularly of those parts of Daran or Deren (mount Atlas) which were 
anciently, and are still inhabited by the Amazirg tribes of Masmideh, 
Bargwiteh, Gomara, Beni Asami, Beni Edrisi, Beni Hamstid, Beni Vir- 
yargal, and others, who, at the time of the conquest of Africa by the 
Wor, (ii. 3G
