至其年十一月，仁美卒，其弟狄銀嗣立，遣都督安千等朝貢。 In the eleventh month of that year Renmei died. His younger brother Diyin succeeded him and sent commissioner An Qian and others to court with tribute.

狄銀卒，《歐陽史》：同光四年，狄銀卒。 Diyin died. The Ouyang History records that Diyin died in the fourth year of Tongguang.

《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."
