This prince signalised his governorship by repairing the principal public
works at Shushtar, viz., the two dams which span the Ab-i-Gargar at its
head and the Pul-i-Dizful; but the bridge last-mentioned, though the
work on it (which was completed in 1810) had occupied four years, had
cost a large sum of money, and had been executed under British super
vision, was again partially destroyed by a flood in 1832. In 1818
Muhammad 'Ali Mirza led, or sent, a force against Fallahiyeh, and a
sum of 13,000 Tumans was wrung from the Ka^ab Shaikh on account of
arrears of the tribute which was claimed from him by the Persian
Government.
The Persian arrangements for the administration of ^Arabistan after
1822 are not ascertainable; but it seems likely that the province remained
in a semi-subdued condition, revenue being collected at irregular intervals
by military expeditions, on the withdrawal of which the local chiefs-
such as the Ka'ab Shaikh and the Wali of Hawizeh—resumed or were
nominally replaced in charge of their hereditary jurisdictions. During
some portion at least of Fat-h ''Ali Shah^s reign one of the principal
Persian officials at Shiraz received part of his salary in the form of an
annual assignment of 1,000 Tumans on the tribute due from the Ka^ab
tribe,

Internal history of 'Arabistan^ 1797-1834.
At the beginning of Fat-h 5 Ali Shah's reign the Shaikhship of the
Ka'ab was still held by 'Alwan. 'Alwan was ousted in 1801, by
Muhammad-bin-Barkat, who retained his position until 1812. The
successor of Muhammad was Ghaith, a grandson of the famous Shaikh
Salman \ his rule began in 1812 and ended in 1828, when he was
murdered. Ghaith was followed by his brother Mubadir or Mubashir,
who reigned for three years; and the latter by a Shaikh named
'Abdullah-bin-Muhammad. In or about 1832 Thamir-bin-Ghadhban
became chief of the tribe.
The foundation of the town of Muhammareh, which is assigned to
the year 1812, was an important event. It contributed materially to
the progress of the Muhaisin tribe, who were at first an insignificant
body, but whose chief was destined in the end to supplant the Shaikh of
the Ka'ab as the principal political power in Southern 'Arabistan. Mu
hammareh was established under the orders of Shaikh Ghaith, Ka'ab,
as a military outpost against the Turks or the Arab tribes under Turkish
influence, and it stood originally on both sides of the Karun River. The
