(Said to be) Son of 
Dhu Yazan and of 
a woman of Mek-

Is said to have come to Kanem, where he 
founded a new dynasty, and reigned over 
several tribes ; viz. the Berbers (Begha- 
ma ?), Tebu, or Teda, Kanembu, and others.

Duku, or Dugu. 
Son of I'braMm and 
Ghafaluwa, of the 
tribe of the Kaye. 
Seems to be generally recognized as the first 
king of this dynasty ; and for this reason,

Sultan." There is still in Bornu a nume- 
rous family called Duguwa, who refer their 
origin to Dugu ; and it would seem that 
Duguwa is the name which really belongs 
to the dynasty, as is intimated by the chro- 
nicle itself further on. 
Yeri A'rfasa. 
A place said by 
the Bornu peo- 
ple (I have no 
doubt errone- 
ously) to lie S.

place Yira in 
Kanem.
