2 to Ai'ang Barang and its junction wth the Panjkora, while the Yusixfzai held
3 all the hills to the east as far as the Indus and Ijordering upon their plain
4 country, including lower Swat, Buner, and Chamlah. Some time later the
5 Khataii obtained from Akbar, as has already been related in section 406, a
6 grant of the plains in the south-east of the Peshawar district. Thus the
7 Khakhai and their allies held all the country north of the Kabul river from the
8 Indus to Kunar, including the hills north of the Peshawar border, but ex-
9 cluding those lying west of Doalja which were occupied by the Bar ]\Iohmand ;
10 while all the plain country south of the Kabul was held, in the east by the
11 Khatak, and in the west by the Ghoria Khel. These last attempted to cross
12 the river into Yusufzai, but were signally defeated by the Yusufzai, and have
13 never extended their dominions. How the Khatak pushed across into the
14 Yusufzai plain has already been told (section 406) . The Dilazak, thus expell-
15 ed fi-om their territory, made incessant efforts to recover it ; until finally, as the
16 cause of tumult and disorder, they were deported en masse by the Emperor
17 Jahangir and scattered over the Indian peninsula. When the Yusufzai settled
18 in theii- possessions they divided the hill and plain country equally between
19 their two great sections, the Mandanr and the Yusufzai proper. But feuds
20 sprang up amongst them which were fomented by the Mughal rulers ; and
21 early in the 17th century the Yusufzai expelled the Mandanr from SwAt and
22 Buuer, while the Mandanr in their tm-n expelled the Yusufzai from the greater
23 part of the Yusufzai plain. Thus the Yusufzai now hold Swat, Buner, and
24 the Lundkhwar and Ranizai valleys in the north-west of Yusufzai ; while the
25 Mandanr hold Chamlah and the remainder of the plain country.
26 410. The Pathan tribes of Peshawar continued.— The plain IWohmand.— I now proceed to
27 de-scribe the tribes in detail. Passing Iroin Koliat iuto Peshawar through the country of the
28 Khatak, who have aU'eady been described in section 407, and turning west, we first come to the
29 lower or Plain llohmand, who occupy the south-west corner of the district, south of the Bara
30 stream. They are dirided into five main sections, the Mayarzai, JIusazai, Dawezai, Matanni and
31 Sarganni. Their headmen, in common with those of all the Ghoria Khel, are called Arbiib, a title
32 meaning master, and conferred by the Mughal Emperors.' They are good and industrious culti-
33 vatoi's, and peacefully disposed except on the Afridi border. Their relation with the Bar ilohmand,
34 from whom they are now quite separate, differing from them in both manners and customs, is des-
35 cribed in section 409.
36 The Khalil occupy the left bank of the Bara, and the country along the front of the
37 Khaibar pass. They have four main clans, Matiizai, Barozai, Ishaqzai, and Tilarzai, of which the
38 Barozai is the most powerful. They are not good cultivators. There are some of the tribe still to
39 be found in Kandahar.
40 The Daudzai occupy the left bank of the Kabul river as far down as the junction of the Bara.
41 The Mohmand and Daudzai are descended from a common ancestor Daulatyar, son of Ghorai the
42 progenitor of the Ghoria Kliel. Daiid had three sons, Mandkai, Mamiir, and Yusuf, from whom
43 are descended the main sections of the tribe. Mandkai had three sons, Husen, Nekai, and Balo, of
44 whom only the first is represented in Peshawar. Nekai fled into Hindustan, while Bale's few
45 descendants live in parts of Tirah.
46 The Gugiani hold the Poaba or plain counti-y in the angle between the Kabul and Swat rivers.
47 They are descended from Mak, the son of Khakhai, by a hamsdt/ah shepherd who married Mak's
48 daughter Gugi, whence tlie name. Tliey are divided into two great sections, Hotak and Zirak.
49 Macgrogor says that other Patlians do not recognise them as of pm'e Pathan blood.
50 The Muhamniadzai- htild Hashtnaghar, a strip of territory some 13 miles broad running down
51 the left bank of the Swat river from our border to Xaushahra. They are descended from Muham-
52 mad, one of the sons of Zamand ; and with them are settled a few descendants of his brothers, from
53 one of whom, Kheshgi, one of their priuicipal villages is named. Their clans are Prang, Charsadda,
54 Kazar, Utmanzai, Tui-angzai, Umarzai, Sherpao, and Tangi witli its two septs Barazai and Nasratzai.
55 The Baizai. — The Yiisufzai proper are divided into the Badi Khel ^now extinct), Isazai, Iliaszai,
56 Mah'zai, and Akozai. The Akozai are fui'ther divided into thi-ee clans, the Rauizai ^ who hold the
57 1 Arbab is the plural of the Arabic Eab or Lord ; a term often applied to the Deity,
58 - The tribe is often called Mohmaudzai or Mamanzai, and their ancestor, Mohmand or Maman.
59 ' The Haiy at -i- Afghani calls the Kanizai a sept of the Baizai. This seems improbable, as they
60 descend from cUfEerent wives of Ako.
