CULTURAL NOTES
Robin (1982 a: 45): "Les banu ḏ-Kbr-ʾqynm, ou les banu ʾqynm, sont les qayls de la fraction de Shibām Kawkabān, une des quatre fractions qualifiées de "quart" (rbʿ) sur le territoire de la confédération tribale Bklm (voir Ja 615, Ir 13). Deux autres fractions de Bklm déjà connues sont: d'ʿAmrān (voir CIH 95/6, 102) e de Rayda (voir CIH 282/2, CIH 314+CIH 954/2)".
