5. Excerpts from the sources.

5.1. From “Gazi Bardj tarikhy” (“Annals of Gazi Bardj”).When Boyan, the ruler of Imens, living east from the Great Khingan mountain range, died, his sons Laish and Idjik struggled for power. Idjik was defeated and was compelled to leave with his retinue to the southern periphery of Gobi desert. “Here he became a ruler due to the courage of Imens - excellent archers. He subjugated the Kytai Turks. The Imens, led by Idjik, began to move from one Turkic settlement to another... Idjik ordered, by the time of arrival, to have people gathered and to prepare entertainment and tribute. During his stay he made assignments, held court and gave instructions. The tribute were called djien... To live with Tьrks Imens had to learn their language...

When the Kytai girls grew up, Imens, bringing them up in their own way, took them as wives and called themselves and their children Khons (Huns - M.Z.)...

Mindful of mutinities, Idjik took away to himself all Turkic arms-makers, dressed his people and their horses in iron armor, and forbade Kytais to have battle weapons and wear armor.

5.2. From “Khon kitaby” (“History of Huns”) Kul Gali.

When in Samar (Sumer - M. Z.)... was a Flood, among Khin Imens flared a struggle for power. Upset by the rivalry, their king... with his retinue left to the west and conquered Turks. The Imenian men -... took Tьrkic women as wives and consequently their children began to speak in Turkic...So there were Khon people, who, despite the acceptance of the Turkic dialect, kept in purity the Imenian traditions, even such custom as to braid the men’s a hair into plaits.

5.3. From “Khon kitaby” Kul Gali

When the new Khon king Bulьmar established in Bulyar the authority of the dynasty, and ordered to call Bulyar Atil, when Bulyarian Bulgars began to also call themselves “Bulyar” in memory of the old service to Khon Khans. By the time of the Bulьmar arrival, Bulgars included so many Khon clans that Bulgars took on the Khon language...

The Alan dynasty recklessly refused to recognize the authority of Atil in hope of Sadumean help, and angry Bulьmar with majority of Khons, including Bulgars and Modjars, attacked Shir and Kara-Saklan...

A lot of Khon Bulgars, in troubled years, began to enlist in Persia into a profitable service, and the Persians, at their request, settled them in Bulgarian regions of Kaftau. Very soon there were so many Khon Bulgars that these regions began to be called “Khondjaks” (“Khon districts “).
