Next year, Musa took advantage of the absence of Roderic, who was engaged in quelling a rising of the Basques, to despatch another of his clients, Tarik ibn Ziyad, ' Florindaj whose mother was daughter of the previous Visigothic king, Witica. 230 II. 2] TARIK'S RAID 231 the commander of his vanguard, with seven thousand Moslems. They were conveyed in batches across the Straits in the four ships which Tarif had previously made use of, for the Moslems possessed no others. Tarik assembled his men ...on the mountain which still bears his name — Jabal Tarik, Gibraltar. At the foot of this mountain lay the town of Carteya.^ Tarik sent a division to attack it, com- manded by one of the few Arab officers in his army — 'Abd al-Malik of the tribe of Moafir.^ Carteya fell into the hands of the Moslems, and Tarik had advanced as far as the Laguna de Janda when he heard that King Roderic was marching against him at the head of a large army. Since there were only four vessels available, it would have been difficult for him to withdraw his men to Africa even if he had wished to do so.
