The Ata-bak, Ilatt-giz, was a slave of Sultan Sanjar’s, and he was possessed of great strength and nobility of mind. Having brought the territory of Azarbaijan under his sway, he performed many great acts; and many monuments of his goodness still remain in that country.
The Almighty gave him worthy and accomplished sons; and he carried on wars with the infidels of Afranj and Karkh, and reduced the country, as far as the frontiers of Rum, under his subjection, and conquered a great part of 'Irak. He died after reigning a considerable time.
