The Sarmouni Brotherhood is a supposedly mythical group of elders that taught Gurdjieff some of his gnosis. It is also known as the Salman Brotherhood. It is interesting that this also appears in the Isma'ili book `Umm al-Kitab where Salman is the messenger of God.
This is a history of Gurdjieff with some hints to their location somewhere in ethnic Tajiki areas where there are Tajiki Isma'ilis in Badakhshan and other areas of Central Asia, and even some that speak Wakho.

from http://www.heritageinstitute.com/zoroastrianism/tajikistan/page3.htm:
The Pamir-Badakhshan region is home to very old Zoroastrian historical sites and most of theZoroastrian historical sites we have identified so far in Tajikistan, are in the Badakhshan-Pamir region. There are also enigmatic hand and feet symbols carved into the rock of the Pamir mountains. The Pamiri consider the rocks holy, saying that holy men have stepped on these rocks in the remote past.
In our discussion on the location of the original Aryan homeland, Airyana Vaeja, a strong candidate for the location of Airyana Vaeja was the general area around Tajikistan and more specifically, the Pamir-Badakhshan region. (See Location of Airyana Vaeja).
In a related page, Aryan Homeland in the Avesta, we examined references to Airyana Vaeja in the Zoroastrian scriptures, the Avesta. In that page, we listed the sixteen nations mentioned in one of the books of the Avesta, the Vendidad. Airyana Vaeja, the Aryan homeland is the first nation in that list. Its precise location is a mystery. In the map below, the second, third and fourth nations, Sughdha, Mouru and Bakhdhi, are to the left, and the Pamir-Badakhshan region is the adjacent region to the right of the map.
