耶律解裏耶律拔裏得耶律朔古耶律魯不古趙延壽高模翰趙思溫耶律漚裏思張礪 Yelu Jieli, Yelu Balide, Yelu Shuogu, Yelu Lubugu, Zhao Yanshou, Gao Mohan, Zhao Siwen, Yelu Oulisi, and Zhang Li

耶律解裏，字潑單，突呂不部人，世為小吏。 Yelu Jieli, whose courtesy name was Podan, came from the Tülübu tribe; his family had served as petty clerks for generations.

解裏早隸太宗麾下，擢為軍校。 Jieli entered Emperor Taizong's service while still young and was promoted to army cadet.

天顯間，唐攻定州，既陷，解裏為唐兵所獲。 During the Tianxian era, when Tang attacked Dingzhou and took it, Jieli was captured by the Tang army.

上命解裏與降將張彥澤率騎兵三千疾趨河南，所至無敢當其鋒。 The emperor ordered Jieli and the surrendered general Zhang Yanze to lead three thousand horsemen in a swift drive into Henan; nowhere they went did anyone dare stand against their charge.

既入汴，解裏等遷晉主重貴於開封府。 Once they had entered Bian, Jieli and his party relocated the Jin emperor Chonggui to Kaifeng prefecture.

彥澤恣殺掠，亂宮掖，解裏不能禁，百姓騷然，莫不怨憤。 Yanze killed and plundered at will and threw the inner palace into chaos; Jieli could not stop him, the people were in an uproar, and everyone seethed with resentment.

解裏亦被詰責，尋釋之。 Jieli was questioned and rebuked as well, but was soon released.

應歷初，置本部令穩，解裏世其職，卒。 At the start of the Yingli era the post of tribal chief wen of the department was created; Jieli held it as a hereditary office in his line and then died.

又譖我與解裏好掠人財物子女。 You also slandered me and Jieli as men who loved to seize people's goods and daughters.

若乃成末釁以虧俊功，如解裏者，何譏焉！ As for those who let a late misstep spoil splendid service, like Jieli—what reproach is there to make!
