TAIYIBI SARHADI—
A sub-tribe belonging to the Liravi division of the Kuhgalu classed among
the Pusht-i-Kuh tribes.
Like the Bahmai, the Taiyib! trace their descent from Agha ’All, Behdar-
vand. They are good fighters, but wild and lawless, and arrant thieves.

are also considered the best armed and most intelligent of the Kuhgalu
tribes. In 1910 they were under the command of 'Ali Murad Khan of Kaleh

Bahmai, but have a blood-feud on with the Buir Ahmadi. Among them
selves, owing to a plurality of Chiefs, each faction is constantly at war
with other factions, and politics among them have little or no stability.

Tang-i-Band and Tang Tikau, main route Isfahan via Burs. Main route
