Extract

In continuation of my previous notes on the Portuguese in India and Arabia, I propose to deal with three Muhammedan chiefs who played an important part in the history of the Portuguese between the years 1517 and 1538, namely:—

1. Salmán Ra'ís.

2. Sulaymán Pasha al-Khádim, Governor of Cairo.

3. Khwája Ṣafar, Khudáwand Khán.

page 3 note 1 Colonel Ráshid, on the authority of the Barq al- Yamání, says that Ḥusayn Rúmí was appointed to Jedda after the removal of Ḥusayn Kurdí, but this is an error.

page 4 note 1 Some accounts say that Barsbái was killed in the engagement with the Baní 'Ammár.

page 5 note 1 This may refer to the expedition of 1515.

page 9 note 1 Barros tells us that Khayr ud-Dín (Haiderin) was an old man— veedor da factura do Soldam—and that he had orders to hand over the fleet to Salmán, but to be himself in command of the people, Salmán having made himself very unpopular. (Dec. IV, Liv. I, Cap. VIII.) Through a misprint this man has come down to history as Haidarin instead of Hairadin, which led to such conjectures as Haidar and Haidari.

page 9 note 2 It would appear from this statement that the Governorship of the Yaman was included in that of Jedda.

page 10 note 1 Colonel Ráshid says that Muṣṭafa left a certain Aḥmad Beg as his locum tenens in the Yaman.

page 11 note 1 Bandar al-Turk. I have not met this name elsewhere, but it may refer to Gogala which, Castanheda tells us, was called Villa dos Rumes after Almeida's victory in 1509.
