Miraiyil - Yidaiya - Madhahia forns part of the
Bani Qitab dar, since all agree that the Bani Ka'ab are
essentially a mountain tribe. Since, however, there
seems some substance to the Bani Ka'ab claim to
Miraiyil (although this cannot be determined precisely),
it might be possible to recognise a small neutral zone
here, an area one square mile centred on the well,
as was done at Umm Al Zamul.

I must make plain that none of these definitions
will, of course, affect the traditional right of the
tribes to move and graze where they wish throughout
the disputed areas.
