At present three sections of the tribe hold the Radkan district down to
Chashmeh-i-Gilas. The district has fine and ample water. In the summer
they go up into the Hazar Masjid hills, at the back. Five other sections
live in the hills on the Darreh Gaz border, others are scattered about Khora-
san, some 6,000 families being settled at Shahr-i-Staneh in the Juvain district.
The chief of Radkan, the head-quarters of the tribe at present, is
Muhammad Ibrahim Khan, son of Muhammad Riza Khan, the late chief
of the Kaivanlu tribe. Ibrahim Khan is not, however, recognised by
the Persian Government as chief of the whole tribe (as his father was), and
the different sections of the tribe are now under the governors for the
time being of the districts where they are settled or camped.
Radkan is an appanage of the Government of Meshed.— (Napier; C.
E. Yate\ Mania Bakhsh.)
