Chap. XXIY. EARLIEST DYNASTY. 77 
is unanimously stated to have ruled for a hundred 
and sixty-nine years, and as it was driven out by the 
Fulbe in the year of the Hejra 1222, must have com- 
menced about the year 1053 (a. d. 1643). In this 
latter dynasty, however, there seem to have been two 
factions (or families), which are noticed already in 
the preceding dynasty, one of which was called Cha- 
garana, and the other Karyaghiwa.* f But before 
speaking of the struggle between the Fulbe and the 
Habe, I shall say a few words about the town of 
Katsena. 
The town, probably, did not receive the name 
of the province till it had become large and pre- 
dominant ; which event, if Leo be correct, we must 
conclude did not happen much before the middle of 
the 16th century of our era, while in early times 
some separate villages probably occupied the site 
where, at a later period, the immense town spread 
out. The oldest of these villages is said to have been 
Ambutey or Mbutey, where we must presume Ko- 
mayo and his successors to have resided. After G6g6 
had been conquered by MuMy Hamed, the emperor 
of Morocco, and, from a large and industrious capital, 
had become a provincial town, great part of the com- 
merce which formerly centred there must have been 
querors extended the meaning of this term, which originally 
applied only to one dynasty, to the whole conquered nation. 
* This name, in the corrupted form " Kilinghiwa," Mr. Cooley 
has connected with the Berbers, in his excellent little work on the 
Negroland of the Arabs.
