During the reigns of Sultan Saoud and his son Sultan Saoud Sayid, a large part of the Arabian mainland was under the rule of Oman, as also Bahrein, Hormuz, Larij, Kishm, Bandar Abbas, many islands and their pearl fisheries, and Linga, also a good part of the coast of Africa; and it was they who established the alliances with England and the United States.
Barros calls him "Sufo Larij," a name which some writers have derived from "Yusuf of Lar." Castanheda spells the name "Cufolarim." Asada Khan is entitled to a chapter to himself, but, to avoid prolixity, I will only give one extract from the "Asia" of Barros. Allusion has been made above to an attack on the mainlands of Goa by three Hindu chiefs, when Ponda was besieged.
