耶律乙辛謀害太子，撻不也知其奸，欲殺乙辛及蕭特裏得、蕭十三等。 When Yelu Yixin plotted against the crown prince, Tabuye saw through his treachery and meant to kill Yixin along with Xiao Telide, Xiao Shisan, and their faction.

大康三年，復欲殺乙辛及蕭得裏特等，乙辛知而械系之。 In the third year of Dakang he again plotted to kill Yixin and Xiao Delite; Yixin learned of it and had him arrested in fetters.

如蕭得裏特實乙辛之黨，耶律合魯亦不為早辨，賴陛下之明，遂正其事。 Xiao Delite was truly of Yixin's party, and Yelu Helu failed to expose this in time; only Your Majesty's discernment set the matter right.

蕭得裏特，遙輦窪可汗宮分人。 Xiao Delite belonged to the palace division of Yaolian Khan Wokohan.

清寧初，乙辛用事，甚見引用，累遷北面林牙、同知北院宣徽使事。 At the start of Qingning, when Yixin was in power, Delite was heavily used and rose through Northern Court linya to associate administrator of Northern Court Xuanhui commissioner affairs.

及皇太子廢，遣得裏特監送上京。 When the crown prince was deposed, Delite was sent to supervise his transfer to the Upper Capital.

得裏特促其行，不令下車，起居飲食數加陵侮，至則築圜堵囚之。 Delite hurried the journey along, would not let him step down from the cart, and repeatedly humiliated him in his daily needs and meals; on arrival he built a round earthen enclosure and imprisoned him there.
