PAP!—
A tribe of the Bala Girieh division of the Pish Kuh Lars, occupying lands
bordering on those of the Sagwand Lurs, to the south-east of Khurramabad
as far as the Sazar river. They have very little land under cultivation,
subsisting mostly on their flocks and herds. Within their limits is a notable
Imamzadeh, that of Shahzadeh Imam, son of Imam Musa Kazim and brother
of the Imam R : za, to which the Luis pay great respect, and which makes
them recipients of many gifts and endowments. About 200 families are
attached to the Imdmzddeh, with privileges of immunity from all taxation
and freedom from oppression. Formerly the Papi tribe numbered some 4,000
families, most of which, with their lands, had accrued to them by their
overthrow of Rashml tribe. In course of years they have become scattered,
and, the present estimate is now 800 families or some 3,000 souls.
The summer quarters of the tribe are Kalan Kuh, Nujuyan and Gashuri,
their winter quarters Kuhran and Sakht-i-Farreh, 28 miles from Dizful.
This is the name also of a sub-section of the Nuyi section of the Chehar
