Confederation
The Ghoria Khel are the descendants of Ghori (Ghura), son of Gond, who moved from the headwaters of the Tarnak and Arghasan to the Peshawar plain south of the Kabul river. Bellew gives four divisions: Daulatyar (the Mohmand and Daudzai), Khalil, Chamkani and Zirani. The Khulasat al-Ansab says Ghori was first named Ibrahim.
The Khulasat al-Ansab leaves out Daulatyar and makes the Mohmand and Daudzai sons of Ghori directly, and says some hold the Chamkani and Zirani to be adopted.
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.
