of Aden in great force. The Kings of this province of
Aden were well aware of the King's advance against
them, and went to encounter him at the strongest pass on
their frontier, with a great force of armed men, in order
to bar the enemy from entering their territory. When
the King arrived at this strong pass where the Saracens
