Abstract	:	The Barābra (Ar., al-Barābira, al-Barbar, sing. al-Barbarī) were Nubian-speaking Muslims inhabiting the banks of the Nile between the First and Third Cataracts (between Aswan and Dongola). The name “Barābra” seems to be a conflation of the name of an ancient people, known already in Pharaonic times to be living on the southern borders of the kingdom of Egypt, and the Greek term bárbaros , applied to those who were not speakers of Greek and, in a Middle Eastern context, to the Berber-speaking inhabitants of North Africa,
