Banu Makki, the chiefs of Gabes and its districts, who were Arabs. 1
Leadership
Their chief Abd al-Malik ibn Makki, at the start of his rule, took control of Gabes and Djerba in an autocratic way, and Ahmad reached out his hand towards Sfax. 1
They obeyed the Hafsids and governed the town and its districts. Then the emir Umar ibn al-Lihyani wrested it from them, and they scattered from Gabes, and their rule there came to an end. 1
