CARMAEI
Eth.
CARMAEI a tribe of the Minaei [
MINAEI], mentioned by Pliny (
6.28. s. 32), probably the same as the
Ἀκαρμὰν βασίλειον of Ptolemy (
6.16), which Forster identifies with the modern town
Karn-al-Manzil in the
Hedjaz between
Tayif and
Mekka, about 50 miles SE. of the latter (
Arabia, vol. i. pp. 133, 134, vol. ii. pp. 255--258).
