بختیار
The Bakhtiar live with the Mian Khel at Draban, with a section at Margha, and were among the pawindah traders. The Makhzan-i Afghani traces them to Sayyid Abu Said, nicknamed Bakhtiar, who was raised among the Sherani; the Khulasat al-Ansab names him Seid Habib.
The Makhzan-i Afghani makes the Bakhtiar a Sayyid line raised among the Sherani; Rose calls them a section of the Bakhtiari of Persia, and Ibbetson describes them as affiliated to the Mian Khel.
The genealogy follows the Makhzan-i Afghani and the Khulasat al-Ansab, as Caroe tabulates them. It records tradition: where sources place a tribe differently, the note above says so.
