A History of the Beja tribes of the Sudan, (parts related to Eritrea) from a book by A. Paul 1954

تاريخ قبائل البجا في السودان، (مقاطع  ذات الصلة  بإريتريا) من كتاب أ. بول ١٩٥٤

 وفيه إشارة إلى أن ألالمدا، وهم حواالي ٣٦٠٠٠ في اريتريا، كانو قد أسسوا مملكة على الساحل بين مصوع وعقيق، وحتى بعد الإطاحة بها من قبل بيت أسقدي في القرن في ال ١٦

Here you read about the Beja tribes, also referred to as  Ballaw (written as Belo or Balau), their history from 2500 BC to the middle of the 20th century, Beja kingdoms, between Aswan and Massawa, the Hadendowa, the Beni Amer. In it there is a reference that "The Almada, ca 36,000 in Eritrea, appear for a short time at least, to have established a kingdom on the coast between Massawa and Agig, and, even after their overthrow and enserfment by the Beit Asgade´in the early 16th cent, seem to have retained something of their greater past, so that aristocratic castes had no scruples about taking their daughters in marriage."

Do you also know that Hammasein is not only a name of a region but also a name of one of the Beni Amer tribes, Beit Maala Hammasein
