7 The word £iinftuk» ti^Ki^ I do not know that it is used in Tooiv
8 hiitauii, is Uie common term among all Tartars of the north and east
9 Cot a division or a tribe *. The nation which I am now describing ia
10 correctly called the Chahaur Oeemauk or four tribes, and was in
11 re&Iity formed into m many divisionSf although they have now
12 branched out info a greater number.
13 The origami ibur Eimaukti are the Teimunees> Hwsft^1rphff f , Tei«
14 moor ies, and Zoorees.
15 The first of these Eimauks includes two other divisions, the Kip-
16 chaukb and the Durz} ; and the second inchides the Jumsheedees
17 and Feerooz^coohes* The Kerjes, who live about Toorbutee Hj-
18 deree, south of Meshhed, are ako said to be Eimauks, but I imcy
