JELALIS. Vol. II, page 206.
When Tahmorus Khan ruled over Gurjistan, seven clans of Kurds
inhabited the country about Erivan and Nakjivan, numbering in all 10 00 U
tents, and called by the name of Jelali. When Shah Abbas took Gunistan
he settled the Jelalis at certain places on the frontier. The chief of all the
clans was a certain Pasha Khan Sayad. One of the clans, the Misri Kanin
was established at or near Erivan, from whom is descended the present chief
of Maku, Timur Pasha Khan. 178 years ago, in the time of Nadir Shah,
Mustafa Sultan was Governor of Maku; he rebelled and was killed, ami
Ahmad Shah, chief of the Misri Kanlu, was appointed in his place. From
him dates the history of the family which has continued to give chiefs to
Maku to the present day. The Maku Jelalis number some ^(Uents divided
into seven clans. The chief is Timur Pasha Khan, the Eil IWis are Abdul
Agha Khan and Sultan Agha Khan. The following gives the tribe in

from one neighbourhood to another as the seasons advance and the conditions
of grazing change The winter quarters of the tribe extend from Jarmi
(Jamn ?) Gam, a vdJage under Mount Agra Dagh (Ararat) and close to the
luikish frontier to Kizilwang, a village on the Aras, a few miles east of
Abbasabad. Between these areas they graze their sheep and cattle and live as
a rule, in underground excavations lightly covered over with brushwood and
earth, sometimes occupying natural caverns, many of which exist in the volcanic
region round about Mount Ararat. The summer grazing lands extend all over
the high plateaux of Awajik and westward to Abagaia in Turkey Durino- the
summer they live entirely in their nomad tents. As a people, the Persian
Jelalis form a small section of the large tribe of that name found in the
Bayazid and Abagaia districts of Turkey with whom they join hands in the
summer They owe allegiance to Persia and come directly under the juris
diction of the chief of Maku. Like the rest of the Kurds of the north
