Tribe
The Iliaszai are the Yusufzai of western Buner, descended in tradition from Elias, son of Yusuf. They include the Salarzai and Gadaizai; the 1910 Dictionary of the Pathan Tribes also names Panjpai and Nasuzai sections.
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.
