He was a man addicted to hunting and pleasure, and is said to have introduced the use of fur in clothing. He had two sons, namely Burtas and Bulghar. These took up their abode in the countries of Aidul and Bulgaria, where their descendants now reside.
Kymul, the son of Japhet, was fond of a wandering life. His descendants are called Mirza Tubaee and Khoosh Zeestur among the Turks.
Mazeh or Mazij, the son of Japhet, was a man of mild temper, and celebrated among his brethren for his justice. He lived in the country called Kamroon, on the borders of China, and his descendants became scattered over that part of the country.
Although all the foregoing be considered the children of Japhet, the father of the Turks, yet there is great confusion in their pedigrees. Some say that Japhet Ooghlan or Toork was contemporary with Kyoomurs, the son of Shem, the first of the kings of Fars or Persia. Kyoomurs is also called Adam, from his resemblance to the father of mankind. It is, however, certain, that Toork Khan was the first who assumed the kingly power in the East, and that he long governed the country of Turkistan. When he attained the age of 240 years, he died, and his eldest son, Abluchi Khan, with the consent of his family and their chiefs, was placed upon the throne.
Abluchi Khan, after his succession, made several new regulations among the Turks; he divided the ooloos or tribes into right and left; those of the right he called oonghar, and those of the left joonghar or jowaunghar; and he directed that the oonghar should never appear, either in his durbar or in the field, on the left, nor the joonghar on the right. When arrived at an advanced age, his eldest son, Debad Kowi, assumed the chief authority, and Abluchi Khan devoted the remainder of his days to religious abstraction.
Debad on his death was succeeded by his son, Kyook Khan, who again was succeeded by his eldest or most able son, Alumchi Khan.
In the time of Alumchi Khan, the Turks, having amassed riches, became proud, and abandoned the religion of their forefathers. In process of time, Alumchi Khan had two sons, who were twins. One of them he called Tatar, and the other Moghool. When he died, seeing that his sons were intelligent and able men, he divided his hereditary possessions between them. These princes during their lives remained united, but after their deaths their tribes divided, one being denominated Tatar and the other Moghool.
