combined, in order to defend themfelves by their com¬ 
mon force. Tliefe allied princes, and their fubjefts, 
are much better foldiers, and more inclined to war, than 
the reft of the Arabians. The imam of Sana, and the 
fherriffe of Mecca, employ each feveral regiments of 
thefe highlanders, and pay them better than their other 
troops. 'They have always officers of their own nation ; 
and the fchiechs ufually both raife the.regiments, and 
nominate the officers. A tradition which fubfifts con¬ 
cerning their common origin, may have been the caufe 
which firft gave rife to the confederation among tire 
fchiechs, and which has difpofed them to maintain it 
hitherto. Hafchid and Bekil, whofe names the confe¬ 
derates have affirmed, were, by this tradition, brothers, 
fons of a-fchiech named Babrofcham , by a princefs called 
Nedsjema. Babrofcham, who was born in,Natolia, after 
fome romantic adventures, carried off that piinceff, who 
was daughter to tire king of Bithynia, and fought refuge 
upon thefe mountains of Yemen; where, through his 
Ions, Hafchid and Bekil, he became the anceftorofall 
the fchiechs of Bellad el Kobail ; and they accordingly 
look up to him as their common anceftor. The country 
inhabited by thefe confederates is of various degrees of 
fertility. Some valleys, which produce fruits in great 
abundance, are interfperfed among the hills ; and even 
the higher grounds are cultivated and fertile. A num¬ 
ber of caftles are fcattered upon the heights; but few 
eonfiderable villages are to' be feen. Tlie town of Khei- 
van, in the diftritt of the fame name,'is remarkable for 
having been the feat, firft of the Hamjare monarchs, and 
afterwards of the imams; Ruins of a very ancient pa¬ 
lace are ftill to be feen there. In fome other villages 
are feveral monuments, from which it appears, that, 
before the Turkifh conqueft, a great part of Bellad al 
Kobeil was under the dominion of the ancient imams.
