The Importance of the Treaty

Many modern researchers say even if there's no chain of narrators when you look at this treaty, it's a very archaic language. A lot of what is mentioned are the names of tribes that we don't even know anymore. The term Yathrib occurs in this treaty shows that he's talking to people who are not used to a new name. He says every one of these sub-tribes will be left with their own said on their own and nobody else can share them.
