Dealer Notes
No. 59 of 225. Hameid abu Jabir was one of three Haurani peasants who had been added to Lawrence’s personal followers in preparation for the further development of the Revolt, since ‘[i]n view of the new importance of the Hauran, there was need for us to learn its dialect, the construction and jealousies of its clan-framework, and its names and roads. These three fellows, Rahail, Assaf and Hemeid would teach me their home-affairs imperceptibly, as we rode on business, chatting’ (Seven Pillars of Wisdom (London, 1935), pp. 343-344). ¶¶¶
