DACHARE´NI
Eth.
DACHARE´NI (
Δαχαρηνοί) an inland tribe of Arabia Felix, according to Ptolemy (
6.7) identified with the Nabathaeans by Eustathius (
Eustath. ad Dionys. Per. 954). Forster conjectures that they are identical with the tribe of the
Dwy Dhaker, part of the great Harb nation, found by Burckhardt near the
Owf and
Zebeyde tribes, between
Rábegh and
Mekka, and also in the vicinity of
Medina. (
Arabia, vol. ii. p. 141.)
