448 BaVami/s translation of the History o/Tabary, [Oct. 



Thus he kept seven vultures in succession, the last was called Lobad. 

 Loqman and Lobad died at the same time. Tabary observes that a 

 vulture lives eighty years ; but according to other accounts, they live 

 longer. Hud remained with his follower in the country of '£& and 

 lived fifty years after the 'Adites and died at an age of 150 years. 

 There was no prophet for one hundred years after Hud until the time 

 of Calm and of the Thamddites. There were only kings, and every 

 one had a different religion, one was an idolater, another was a fire- 

 worshipper, &c. This continued to the time of Calih.
