The Ibadi imamate of Oman has no contemporary chronicle for 1200; the later Omani compilations (the Kashf al-ghumma and al-Salimi's Tuhfat al-a'yan) preserve a list of imams and the tradition of the Nabhani maliks who ruled the interior from the 12th century, with Hormuz and Kish pressing on the coast. Ross's 1874 English of the historical chapters is the only free text and gives the 12th and 13th centuries in a few lines. Treat as late tradition; the evidence for Oman at 1200 is thin.
