Pedigree of Haleb, the brown Maeghi Sbeyl, the favorite stallion of 

 the desert of 1906. This pedigree bears the seals of Sheil^h Ali Rashid, 

 Achmet Haffez and Hatchem Bey. It is a pedigree that would be bowed to 

 from Nejd to Aleppo. 



IX THE NAME OP THE MOST MERCIFUL ALLAH : 



Praise be to Allah, the Lord of all the universe, and prayers and greetings upon our Master Mohammet and upon 

 all his family and his followers. 



God the All-high has said in His cherished Book: "By those which run swiftly with a panting noise, and 'which 

 strike fire, and whicli make an incursion in the morning, raising a cloud of dust and piercing the ranks of a host." 

 Also Ali, may God bathe his face with glory, has said : "Plenty is knotted to the horses' manes." He has also said : 

 *'(on) Their backs are splendor and (in) their wombs are treasure.' ' 



And now: tlie pure brown stallion who is devoid of white and whose age is five years, going on his sixth, is a Mah- 

 naky Sabily. His sire is Showainian Sabbah, who breeds pure and exclusive, and is consequently free of all defects. 

 And we liave not testified except to what we have known, and we are incognizant of tlie unknown. 



Written the 25th of Hamada the last 1324 (Hegira) and the 15th of August, 1906 (A. D.).
