阿咄欲立，亦遣使來貢名馬。 Atouyu succeeded and likewise sent envoys bearing famous horses as tribute.

《歐陽史》：「晉高祖時，又加冊命，阿咄欲不知其爲狄銀親疏，亦不知其立卒，而仁裕訖五代常來朝貢，史亦失其紀。」 The Ouyang History states: "Under Emperor Gaozu of Jin further investiture was granted. Whether Atouyu was near or distant kin to Diyin is unknown, as are the circumstances of his rise and death, whereas Renyu continued to send tribute throughout the Five Dynasties—yet the histories have lost the record of his reign as well."
