became a large and important place, the Bulala transferring 
thither by force the inhabitants from all parts of Kanem, 
with the exception of those of TetaMwa or Tetalu tyki 
and A'fa^i &\*\ . | But principally they settled there all the 
Tebu, even the Keserda ) most P r °bably a mistake in- 
stead of Sakerda, so that but few of this tribe remained 
behind in Kanem. The Bulala made, moreover, strict alli- 
ance with the people of the south (^aJI *gfif-J&1 ), the people 
of Kargha, in order to provide them with corn, which they 
bought with tobes and cattle. This intercourse ceased only 
when Edris came to Ragharku. 
The battle which was fought near this important place of 
Kiyayaka, was won by the king Edris through his personal 
valour, after much slaughter on both sides, when he entered 
the town, and having encamped there for two days, all the 
time beating the drum, burnt the whole place.

I The first of these names is evidently connected with the name 
of the tribe of the Tetala, a section of the large nation of the So 
or Soy, who, having been almost annihilated by this same king 
Edris, retired into the swampy grounds of the Tsad, see Vol. II. 
p. 640. The name A'fagi reminds one of A'fage ; but this is not 
a town of Kanem, and cannot certainly be meant here.
