scended from Jamshid, whence they took the title of "Jam" with 

 which they were distinguished ; or else they were from Sam the son of 

 Noh : he had four sons, the first Budha, (his descendants were Budh, 

 Sodah, Sittah, Ahkil, Ootak, Amiah, Hazir, and in short there were 

 sixteen sons generally known by the title of Rathur,) and the second 

 Sankah, the third Hami, and the fourth Bhakirat. This Bhakirat 

 had a son called Dusrut. Now Dusrut had three wives, one named 

 Kila, the second Kuliah, and the third Simah : from Kila there 

 were two sons, one named Ram, the other Lukhman ; from Kuliah one 

 son Barat ; and from Simah one son Chutur Kim. To Sunkah the 

 son of Sam there were also descendants, and also to Hami ; they 

 were called Judur. Barat the son of Dusrut had descendants call- 

 ed Purhur, Jansipar, Gorijah, and Rahih Chatar Khan ; the son 

 of Dasrat had descendants, called Charah, Lukhman; son of Das- 

 rat had no children ; Ram had one son, who had a son called Taw- 

 akus, who had a son called Tatal, who had a son called Nirhanat ; his 

 son was called Kin, (the city of Kin* is so called after him.) The son 

 of Kin was entitled Sambat Rajah. Sambat Rajah had four children : 



1, Sam Bir Kirarah, also called Sham; 2, Nihrat ; 3, Dakhan ; 

 and 4, Madah. In short, Sam the son of Sambat Rajah, had a son 

 called Jadim. Jadim had four sons : first, Habit whose descendants are 

 the Sumahs of Sindh ; the second Kajbit, whose descendants are the 

 Chughdah; the third Buhobut, his descendants are the tribe of Bhati ; 

 the fourth Chira Sumah, of his descendants is Rahi Diach, the gover- 

 nor of Kurnal, a fort situated in the land of Soorteh: he became a martyr, 

 and the tale of the love and devotion of his wife is well known. Habit 

 the son of Jadim, the son of Sam, the son of Sambat Rajah, had a son 

 named Rubdari ; he had a son called Mijat, he had Nootyah, he had 

 Udha, he had Udheh, he had Lakyah, and he had Lakah. Lakah was a 

 sovereign, and married into the Bhati tribe : he had four sons. Thus, 

 first, Udhuh without children ; Udhuh, which was his place of abode, 

 is called after him. Second, Mahir, who had four sons: 1, Sitah ; 



2, Waditar Patheria ; 3, Wirhah, without children ; and 4, Sand, 

 also without children. They say that the above-mentioned Lakah mar-
