who had been left undisturbed by all the 
preceding kings, and took several of their 
towns. 
Having in this way strengthened the loose 
structure of his empire towards the east, 
he turned westward against Kano *, a name 
which by the historian is evidently used 
only to denote the whole province, and not 
a single town. Indeed, from what he says 
about Dala, it is evident that there was 
no large town named Kano at that time. 
The king succeeded in destroying all the 
strongholds of the province, which our au- 
thor expressly states the Kanawa had then 
first built, viz. Kazra, Kelmasana (this 
seems a Berber name), Majiya, Ukluya, 
Duluwo, Auzaki, Ajiyajiya, Saaya, Ghalaki, 
Kayi, and others; but as for Dala f, the 
strongest of these " shokiya" or stockades, 
he was unable to take it. This Dala was 
evidently the village built at the foot of the 
rocky mount of the same name, which at 
present forms, for the most part, the quarter 
of the Arabs in the town of Kano. After 
Edris had humiliated and weakened, in this 
way, the inhabitants of Kano, the people 
of Bornu continually made predatory ex- 
peditions against them. 
From this circumstance we are enabled to 
judge of the state of affairs in these loosely 
aggregated empires ; for Kano had certainly 
been long before this period a province 
of Bornu. 
Edris Alawoma then directed his efforts to- 
wards the north-west, and undertook three 
expeditions against the Tawarek (Imo- 
shagh) or Berbers, whom he reduced to 
obedience. The first of these expeditions 
was called the kerigu or ghazzia of Sik- 
• tala, or Butirsa; the second was named 
after the tribe Dinkir (the Dfggera?), set- 
tled only two days' march from Kuliya, 
* The name is written in three different ways : sometimes &>S , at others or y& . 
t 11<J. In Bornu also there was a large town of this name ; or it seems rather that Ghasreggomo was sometimes 
called by this name, as will appear from the following passage: —
