BARABRA

This article appears in Volume V03, Page 379 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: BAI-BAR
BARABRA , a name for the complex Nubian races of the Egyptian Sudan, whose
original
  stock is Hamitic-Berber, longmodified by negro crossings. The word is variously derived from Berberi, i.e.
people
  of Berber, or as identical withBarabara, figuring in the inscription on a gateway of Tethmosis I. as the name of one of the 113 tribes conquered by him. In a later inscription of
Rameses
  II. at Karnak (c. 1300 B.C.) Beraberata is given as that of a southern conquered
people
 . Thus it is suggested that Barabra is a real ethnical name, confused later with
Greek
  and
Roman
  barbarus, and revived in its proper meaning subsequent to the Moslem conquest. A tribe living on the
banks
  of the Nile between
Wadi
  Halfa and Assuan are called Barabra. (See further
NUBIA
 .)
