營衛誌下部族下
Management of Guards, Part 3 ○ Tribal Divisions, Part 2

遼起松漠，經營撫納，竟有唐、晉帝王之器，典章文物，施及潢海之區，作史者尚可以故俗語耶？ 舊史有《部族志》，歷代之所無也。 古者，巡守於方嶽，五服之君各述其職，遼之部族實似之。 故以部族置宮衛、行營之後雲。
Liao rose from the Songmo desert, cultivated and embraced its subjects, and in the end possessed the stature of Tang and Jin emperors; its institutions and culture reached the Huanghai region—can historians still write in the old tribal tongue? The old histories contained Records of Tribal Divisions, something no previous dynasty had possessed. In antiquity the Son of Heaven made tours of the sacred peaks and the lords of the five domains each reported their duties; Liao's tribal divisions truly resembled this. Therefore tribal divisions are placed after palace guards and traveling camps.

奚王府六部五帳分。 其先曰時瑟，事東遙裏十帳部主哲裏。 後逐哲裏，自立為奚王。 卒，弟吐勒斯立。 遙輦鮮質可汗討之，俘其拒敵者七百戶，摭其降者。 以時瑟鄰睦之故，止俘部曲之半，余悉留焉。 奚勢由是衰矣。 初為五部：曰遙裏，曰伯德，曰奧裏，曰梅只，曰楚裏。 太祖盡降之，號五部奚。 天贊二年，有東扒裏廝胡損者，恃險堅壁於箭笴山以拒命，揶諭曰：「大軍何能為，我當飲墮瑰門下矣！」 太祖滅之，以奚府給役戶，並括諸部隱丁，收合流散，置墮瑰部，因墮瑰門之語為名，遂號六部奚。 命勃魯恩主之，仍號奚王。 太宗即位，置宰相、常袞各二員。 聖宗合奧裏、梅只、墮瑰三部為一； 特置二克部以足六部之數。 奚王和朔奴討兀惹，敗績，籍六部隸北府。
The Xi Princely Residence comprised six divisions and five accounts. Formerly there was Shise, who served Zheli, lord of the Eastern Yaoli ten-account division. Later he expelled Zheli and declared himself Xi King. When he died, his younger brother Tulesi succeeded. Khan Xianzhi of the Yaolian line campaigned against him, capturing seven hundred households of those who resisted and gathering those who surrendered. Because of Shise's neighborly amity, only half of the followers were taken captive; the rest were all left in place. Xi power declined from this.
