Shaikh Farhan Asad is followed by the Bait Karim sub-section ahd pari
of the Dailam sub-section, and has his head-quarters atDehNau; the
village of Kaleh Banut also belongs to his party. The remainder and great
majority of the Kathir on the Upper Diz oboy Shaikh Haidar to whom Kaleh
5 Abd-ush-Shah belongs. Both Chiefs are recognised by the Persian Govern
ment, and the control of the country and tribesmen, and the collection of
revenue are left entirely in their hands. The total annual revenue demanded
from, the two is said to be 4 t 725 tumdn8. The relations of Shaikh Farhan
Asad are with the Persian officials at Shushtar, and those of Shaikh Haidar
with the authorities at Dizful, consequently the tribe may be regarded as
divided between the two districts of Northern ’Arabistan. It is a remark J
able fact that of the Shaikhs—who are distantly related to each other—
neither really belongs to the Kathir tribe* but both are of Bait Sa’d
extraction .—[
