The Akozais inhabit Deer and Swat, mustering 1,95,000 matchlock 

 men, (1,48,000 foot and 47,000 horse.) 



Deer and Swat contain 83,000 Jarebs. It is said that the whole of 

 the Eesafzais matchlock men are estimated on the Hujrah. Each 

 Hujrah contains 13 rebs, and each reb 19 zeer, each zeer 12 bakh- 

 rahs, (shares) and each share 9 keelbahs, and to each keelbah 60 seers 

 seed, and for every seer seed one Jareb, and every share furnished 

 six matchlock men, foot or horse. 



The Eesafzais have another custom, that of changing their villages 

 and lands every two or three years. 



Another Pergunnah is that of Bajour, inhabited by the descendants 

 of Tackareen, and contains 1,25,000 Jarebs. The kings of old collected 

 1,40,000 rupees, they are now independent. The chief is Meer Alum 

 Khan, who has thirteen guns, and seventy Shakuns, and 2,000 

 Jazaeels of Zattulla Khan's time. This Zattulla Khan is said to have 

 been a Lodee, left by Aurangzeb as Governor of Peshawar, and to 

 have made 12,000 of these long pieces, for taking effect on the Teerahs 

 and Khyber robbers on their heights, of 2J gaz in length ; these Jazaeels 

 are called after him. 



Bajour of old depends on Peshawar, from which it is N. W. It 

 has to the north the Cafers,* with whom constant war is waged. 



Another Pergunnah is Cuner, containing 46,000 Jarebs, which paid 

 34,000 rupees to the kings of old. Ahmad Shah Duranne gave it to 

 Sayad Hajeeh, whose sons are the present chiefs, one named Sayad- 

 wodeen ; 20,000 matchlock men can turn out, (3,000 horse and 17,000 

 foot.) 



No revenue was taken by the Sadozyes; Mahummad Azeem Khan, 

 from Jalalabad, attacked Sayad Hajeeh, and making him prisoner, 

 fixed the revenue of his country at 30,000 rupees. A further account 

 of Cuner is contained in Part I. of this account. 



The following is a more detailed account of the Duabah, which is 

 inhabited by Zagyanees, under Arbab Abdulla Khan, and Sikandar 

 Khan, sons of Hamza Khan, son of Ashraf Khan, of Shah Kadar. 



They formerly received 4,000 rupees pay from the kings, and furnished 

 800 cavalry and 8,000 infantry. There are 48 villages in the Duab, 

 containing 6,640 houses, and paying a revenue yearly of Rs. 1,21,310.
