III. Alminjah or Alinjah having succeeded, during his chieftainship the whole of the Turk tribes forsook the true faith [of their ancestor Yafis] and turned pagans. When he became stricken in years he resigned the chieftainship to his son, Dib-bakue. IV. Dib-bakue also written Dib-badkue, Diba-kun and Dib-yakun and Dib-baukue the son of Alminjah or Alinjah, succeeded his father, and, in his chieftainship, all the Turks took the road of error and perversity. Dib signifies throne, grandeur, possession, and bakue, great, venerable, and the like. He had four sons. V. Kiwak also written Kiwak by some, Kyuk, and by two authors Kur, or Gur another son of Alminjah or Alinjah, but, according to some, his eldest son, succeeded to the chieftainship over the Turks. He became an idol-worshipper according to the Fanakati, who then makes a sudden leap to Aghuz Khan who does not belong to this dynasty at all. Others state however that Kiwak did not deviate from the just and virtuous path of his forefathers.
