耶律撻不也，字撒班，系出季父房。 Yelu Tabuye, whose style was Saban, belonged to the younger father's lineage.

撻不也清寧中補牌印郎君，累遷永興宮使。 Under Qingning Tabuye entered service as Seal and Patent Gentleman and rose to commissioner of the Yongxing Palace.

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.

乙辛知之，令其黨誣構撻不也與廢立事，殺之。 Yixin learned of this and had his followers accuse Tabuye of plotting deposition; he was executed.

與北院宣徽使耶律撻不也善，乙辛嫉之，令人誣告謀廢立事。 He was close to Yelu Tabuye, director of the Northern Directorate for Palace Provisions; Yixin resented this and had him falsely accused of plotting deposition.
