Note 55 — II
Philip Askell Benton translation
Foureau, D’Alger au Congo, p. 589. Similar statements were made to me in 1903 at various places in Bornu. I was, however, shown a brand different from Foureau’s description as ‘Rabeh’s mark’. Even the Arab merchants and their servants, settled in Dikoa in Rabeh’s time, had to submit to this barbarous tattooing.
