Overview
Sul the Turk, a king whom the Turks made ruler after the wall of Jurjan had been taken. al-Baladhuri mentions him 1.
With Yazid ibn al-Muhallab
Sul presented himself to Yazid ibn al-Muhallab on the road to Khurasan. Yazid besieged him at Dihistan and then at al-Buhayra for six months. The siege ended in a treaty: his own safety and property, and that of three hundred of his household, in exchange for the surrender of al-Buhayra. He took part in Yazid's campaign against Jurjan 1.
The book also transmits the saying of Abu Ubayda Ma'mar ibn al-Muthanna that Sul was killed 1.
