is the most renowned of the kings of the Benu-Nebhan for
liberality, integrity and statesmanship. He resided at
Makniyat/ in the district of es-Sirr, and built the lofty and
impregnable fort there, and called it el-Aswad [the Black
Fort]. It was he also who introduced the mango tree into
Makniyat, having been led to do so from the accounts which
he had heard of the excellence of its fruit. The tree was

insignificant place. The Wahhabis invaded it in 1800, when they seized
the castle, burnt the houses, and destroyed most of the trees in its vici
nity. Travels in Arabia, vol. i, p. 215.
