- Title:
- Memo on the Dashtee tribe
- Scope & Content:
-
The memo contains information in Persian, with English translation, regarding the Dashtee [Dashti] tribe and the villages that are subordinate to it.
For the town of Dashtee (folio 8) the memo gives details of the tribute paid to the Governor of Bushire; for each subordinate village the following information is given:
- Under whose authority the village falls
- The amount, in Tomans, paid as tribute to the Dashti tribe
- The number of households in the village
- The distance, in Fursacs, from the nearest neighbouring village
On the rear cover of the memo (folio 1) are instructions from Lewis Pelly dated 21 February 1863 asking him to provide a translation alongside each section of the memo and a note from Joseph Charles Edwards dated 12 May 1863 noting that the translations have been completed.
As the memo was written in Persian, with English translation added later it should be read from back to front (folio 8-folio1)
The dates provided relate to the request for and completion of the translation into English, the memo itself may be from an earlier date.
