Yakut speaks of the Baloch under a separate heading

Yakut speaks of the Baloch under a separate heading and gives a more

favourable account of them. He says they resemble the Kurds, live between Fars
and ‘Karman, and are dreaded by the savage Qufs who fear no one else. The
Baloch, he says, are richer and more civilized than their neighbours, live in
goatskin tents, and do not plunder and fight like the Qufs.
In addition to Adadu’d-daula Dailami, his uncle Mu’iz zu’d-daula, who died
A.H. 356, also came into collision with the wild tribes of Karman, called by some
Kurds and by others Koch and Baloch. He lost his left hand and the fingers of the
right in conflict with them, and was thence known as Aqta or maimed.
