men of note in their day, from these tribes being considered the aristro- 

 cratic ones. 



I saw a Rakam of Aurangzeb, dated the 9th of Jamadee'1-awal, 

 1022 A. H., appointing Malik Malakhe to the charge of the high road 

 from Kalat to Karatoo, (the former is in the Tamak valley, and the latter 

 in the Arghandah,) to protect it from Hazarah robbers. Aurangzeb no 

 doubt found Malakhe the most powerful of the Ghilzye chiefs at 

 enmity with the Hazarahs ; as patronizing an officer of his own creation 

 at court, he no doubt found very different from supporting a newly 

 created chief over his tribe. 



The Hotakees I suppose from being removed from the high road were 

 not required by Aurangzeb, and therefore remained unnoticed; that 

 monarch's sole object being to secure his communication with Ghuznee, 

 Cabool and Hindustan, and not coveting revenue from their Karazees, 

 and almond orchards. 



The Hazarahs are sid to have been driven out of the Arghandah 

 valley in four days.* Malakhe is said on this short campaign to have 

 received valuable co-operation from the Khan-khel chief Mane, whose 

 descendant I find from my journal visited me on the 13th August 1841. 



Khuram says he is the son of Taj Mahammad, the son of Avqhan, the 

 son of Khajah, the son of Mane, the son of Taoos, the son of Daroo, the 

 son of Habeeb, the son of Khan, the son of Parwat, the son of Barak by 

 his wife Khatah, the son of Mahammad, the son of Yoonus, the son 

 of Rahmand, the son of Tokh, the son of Baroo, the son of Tolad, the 

 son of Ghiljye. I have mentioned the descendants of Malakhe in a 

 former part of this account. 



At the time that Malakhe was chief of the whole Toran tribe, (both 

 Hotakees and Tokhees,) Jabbar it is said was chief of the Ibrahim 

 Ghiljyes. 



The Peer-khanah, or spiritual fatherhood of Malakhe were the So- 

 deen (Ala-udeen properly) Sayads. 



Malakhe had a daughter, by name Nazo ; who was one day playing 

 below Kalat-i- Ghiljye with girls of her own age, on the banks of the 



* This might have been effected by Aurangzeb's troops, had they known of the 

 existence of the Passes discovered by me in 1841. That from Kalat-i-Ghiljaee to 

 Surkh Sang (No. 1, Appendix,) and the other from Chasmah-i-Moosaka, via Cheeno 

 into Karatoo, (No. 3, Appendix.)
