Jrak from beyond the:mountains;, he there- 
fore ordered_ his troops to build impregnable 
| fortresses-oôn the: ridges- of those -mountains, 
touching the territory of Khazaria and its 
(i. e. the Caspian) sea. When the troôps had 
finished these fortresses,. he, (dul- -gkarnain) 
furnished them with arms and garrisons, and 
praised God and glorified His name, saying: 
« Praise be to God, my sovereign and my pro- 
tector! am now tranquil (1 have no fear) 
from the mischief of the Turks! » — He glo- 
ried in his conquest, and in his construction 
of the bulwark: for these mountains were 
such as to give dominion to the sovereign, 
who might gain and rule them, over the coun- 
tries of the Persians, Turks and Irak (i. e. the 
Arabs)! For this reason they are called Djaba- 
lul-fat'h (i. e. the mountains of victory). —

conquered this. mountain, took possession of 
it and fortified it all with numerous warriors, 
and it was he who built over the gates or at 
the fronts of the (difficult) passages of the 
mountäins of victory , three hundred and sixty 
seats (or rather fortifications see Remark 13 
to Part I.) bordering on the dominions of the 
Khazars. By doing this he subdued the Turks 
“|'belonging to the Khagkan, and many other 
tribes. 
It is said, that between the countries of 
Aildjezer (AI-Khazar) and those of the west 
(the Ottoman Empire?) there are four. Tur- 
kish tribes which descend from one father. 
These used to make incursions and to come 
over from beyond the mountains into the do- 
minion of Shirwân and other countries, as 
(did once) Yadjudj and Madjudÿj, so that they 
extended their conquest into all the Empire
