"دليل بلاد فارس، المجلد I ويشمل محافظات أستراباد، شاهرود-بوستان، خراسان، وسيستان" [و‎‎٦‎٤] (٧٢٢/١٣٢)

The Persian Government by their ill-treatment of the nomads settled on
their border have alienated all the Taimuris from their government ; and
this tribe would undoubtedly welcome and make common cause with any
invader; even the hated Afghan.
Jamshidis ,—
Are the next Aimak tribe. Their head-quarters are at Kushk, 40 miles
north of Herat. They are a powerful tribe, originally of Persian origin ;
but through continual contact with the Turkmans have lost nearly all trace
of their Persian origin.
They consist of about 5,000 families under Yalantash Khan. They have
much political influence, and have had a good deal to say to Afghan affairs
through their able chief, Khan Agha, who was in high favour with both
Yakub Khan and Ayub Khan during their respective governorships of
Herat.
About 500 families-of the Jamshedfs settled in Persia, most of them being
at Khan-i-Hist, near Mashhad. They are divided into two subdivisions*
the Jamshedi subdivision, Zulficar Khan being chief, and the ftaoti subdi
visions, of which Hap Muhammad Amin Khan is chief.
The Jamshidis have many horsemen, and their cavalry is considered very good.
Firuz Kuhi .—
This Aimak tribe now occupies the mountain country from Kala-Nau
almost to Maimana. The present chief is Bahrain Khan. Kadis or Gadis
is the chief seat of the tribe; Bahrain Khan being chief of this porion of the
country as well as of the whole tribe.
Chakcharan is another Firuz Kuhi place. The local chief is Muhammad
Khan, and he has about 1,0U0 families who follow him.
There are two or three other sections of this tribebut they are too far off
the Persian border to be of importance in this work.
The Firuz Kuhis are of Persian origin, having come, it is said, from Firuz
Kuh in the Alburz mountains, not far from Damavand.
Tatmuni .—
Less is known of this tribe of Aimaks than of the others.
They are said to number 17,000 families,.and are the most numerous of all
the Aimak tribes. Their chief place is Tiwara, south-east of Herat, where
the chief of the whole tribe, Anbia Khan, resides. They are said to be
very unciv’ilized.
The Taimuni are also said to be not of Persian but of Turanian origin.
A larger proportion of this tribe have settled habitations than the other
Aimaks, and only a portion are nomads.
The other Aimak tribes, Hazara and Kipchak, are too far away from the
Persian border to need mention in detail.— {Stewart.)
