AUDHILLAH—
The Audhillah is a predatory tribe mustering 5,000 fighting men, including Asakir
and inhabiting the Kaur, the main ridge of the Aden Hinterland. It is bounded on the
north by the Beda Sultanate, on the south by the Oleh confederation of Dathineh, on the
east by the Aulaki, and on the west by Yafa. The tribesmen are mainly pastoral, but
cultivate sufficient barley for their needs. They hold a weekly market at Loder, near
the south foot of the Khaur, which the neighbouring tribes attend uncler a mutual
understanding of neutrality. Here lives their Sultan, Kasim Ibn Hamed el Gaber, a
man who is powerless to crub their freebooting tendencies, but who provides the only
ready channel by which the tribe can be approached. The only man who exercises any
real influence is Muhammed ibn Muhammed Abdulla, Akil of the Kaur, a powerful chief
whom, owing to the natural strength of his fortress, it is almost impossible to reach or
con strain.
The chief tribe is the Ahl Deman— Audhillah Confederation, 3,000.
Sultan—-Kasim ibn Hamid Gaber.
Akil—Muhammed ibn Muhammed Abdulla.

About this item
- Content
Volume I of III of the Gazetteer of Arabia. The Gazetteer is alphabetically-arranged and this volume contains entries A through to J.
The Gazetteer is an alphabetically-arranged compendium of the tribes, clans and geographical features (including towns, villages, lakes, mountains and wells) of Arabia that is contained within three seperate bound volumes. The entries range from short descriptions of one or two sentences to longer entries of several pages for places such as Iraq and Yemen.
A brief introduction states that the gazetteer was originally intended to deal with the whole of Arabia, "south of a line drawn from the head of the Gulf of 'Aqabah, through Ma'an, to Abu Kamal on the Euphrates, and to include Baghdad and Basrah Wilayats" and notes that before the gazetteer could be completed its publication was postponed and that therefore the three volumes that now form this file simply contain "as much of the MSS. [manuscript] as was ready at the time". It further notes that the contents have not been checked.
