^ In the name of G od , the merciful, the compassionate ! Praise be to

the Arab Tribes, who are parties to this Contract, on the following
conditions:— •
A rticle I.
There shall be a cessation of plunder and piracy, by land and sea, on
the pait of the Arabs who are parties to this Contract, for ever.
A rticle II.
If any individual of the people of the Arabs contracting shall attack
any that pass by land or sea, of any nation whatsoever, in the way of
plunder and piracy, and not of acknowledged war, he shall be account
ed an enemy of all mankind, and shall be held to have forfeited both
life and goods; and acknowledged war is that which is proclaimed,
avowed, and ordered by Government against Government, and the
killing of men and taking of goods without proclamation, avowal, and
the order of Government, is plunder and piracy.
A rticle III.
The friendly (literally the pacificated) O
Arabs shall carry, by land and sea, a red
flag, with or without letters in it, at their
option ; and this shall be in a border of
white, the breadth of the white in the
border being equal to the breadth
of the red, as represented in the margin,
the whole forming the flag known in the
British Navy by the title of " White
pierced Red" ; and this shall be the flag
of the friendly Arabs, and they shall use
it, and no other.
