Portuguese description of Maydh in the 1500s

[Ximan iyo Xadeed]

The Jarän are interesting because the name has an umlaut, and should be pronounced with an ‘ae’ as in ‘Jaraen’ which sounds a lot like Gareen, the royal family of the Ajuran.

Jaran are Jiran Koombe they still live around Harar

What was the ethnic composition of Maydh when the Portuguese arrived in the historic town? I heard some sources stating that Maydh was an Arab settlement and one of the principle cities along the northern Somali coast. Al Masudi mentions the Arab tribes that inhabited the northern Somali coast in the book of Aqeeliyoon.

Everytime I read this guys replies my IQ points gets lower

Apparently all the inhabitants ran away when they saw the Portuguese coming, but the Portuguese mention that there were two mosques and a school, probably a dugsi, where they had wooden boards and ink, Loox.
