Tribe

Daur

The Daur live in the Tochi valley of North Waziristan, in two divisions: the Tapi of Lower Dawar and the Mali of Upper Dawar. The Khulasat al-Ansab names Dur among Shitak's descendants.

Where the sources disagree

Longworth Dames writes that the tribes of Dawar are separate and are not included in any of the genealogies; the Khulasat al-Ansab and Caroe place them under Shitak.

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.
