Ibn Sand, came to an agreement with Hnsein that the Harb,
Ateibah, Sebei, and Muteir tribes were to be free of taxation
by either Ibn Sand or Ibn Rashid, that the Qasim towns should
choose their own Emirs and that they should, in any case, pay
3,000 medjidiehs each to Mecca yearly. This last provision
however, has not been enforced. ? j i
“ The King agreed to recognize Ibn Sand’s right to deal
with the Ateibah in his own country.”
Emir Feisal to Colonel Lawrence, February, 1917.
“ Feisal states that: ‘About five _ years ago Ibn Saud
began to move the people of Nejd against the Meccans. He
won over to his side some of the Buqum and Sebei and threatened

Jeddah, from Enquiries made locally, September, 1918.
“ It is fairly certain that for the last fifteen years the Ateibah,
Sebei, Buqum and Shalawali elements of Khurma, Tarabah,
Sebei and Raniyah have been, at least nominally, subject o
the Emirate of Mecca. They were placed under Mecca by the
Turks.”
An aged and learned Teacher of the Haram {Mecca, Jan, 1919).
This teacher, a crypto-Wahabite, stated that: The She-
rifian claim goes back to 1846, when Husem’s grandfather
Emir Mohammed, invaded Nejd at the instance of the Tur s
and imposed on the Nejd Emir, Feisal, an annual tribute of
10,000 dollars. This was paid up to 1885 (date of Feisal s
death) but not after. Emir Husein invaded Nejd in 1909 to
reimpose it but came to an agreement for 3,000 dollars. This
is believed never to have been paid. The eastern boundary
of the Heiaz was east of Khurma along the base of Jebel Asn
and Jebel Sebei.” (This is not so far east as has sometimes
been claimed.)

About this item

Content

The volume consists of individual copies of the Arab Bulletin produced by the Arab Bureau at the Savoy Hotel, Cairo numbers 66-114. These publications contain wartime, and post-war intelligence obtained by British sources. They deal with economic, military, and political matters in Turkey, the Middle East, Arabia, and elsewhere, which – in the opinion of British officials – affect the ‘Arab movement’; the bulletins cover a wide range of topics and key personalities.

The volume contains the following maps:

  • A map of Central Arabia showing St John Philby's route from Uqair to Jidda 17 November to 31 December 1917: folio 103.
  • Sketch map prepared from RNAS photographs and reconnaissance by HMS City of Oxford of Wadi A seasonal or intermittent watercourse, or the valley in which it flows. Mur February to March 1918 : folio 170.
  • Sketch map of Hejaz (1919): folio 317.
  • Tribal sketch map of the Hadhramaut ‘showing only tribes of fighting value’: folios 333v.

Towards the back of the volume is a small amount of correspondence respecting the distribution of Notes on the Middle East ; the Arab Bulletin was superseded by this publication. Copies of numbers 3-4 of this publication can also be found at the back of the volume.

Tables of content can be found at the front of each issue. A small amount of content is in French.
