蕭餘里也耶律合魯蕭得裏特蕭訛都斡蕭達魯古耶律塔不也蕭圖古辭 Xiao Yulili, Yelü Helu, Xiao Delite, Xiao Eduwo, Xiao Dalugu, Yelü Tabuye, and Xiao Tuguci

頃之，訛都斡希乙辛意，欲實其事，與耶律塔不也等入闕誣首：「耶律撒剌等謀害乙辛，欲立皇太子事，臣亦預謀。 Before long Eduwo divined Yixin's intent and, wanting to make the accusation stick, entered the palace with Yelü Tabuye and others to make a false confession: "Yelü Sala and the others plotted to kill Yixin and put the crown prince on the throne; I too was in on the plot.

耶律塔不也，仲父房之後。 Yelü Tabuye was descended from the Zhongfu branch.

及太子被譖，按無跡，塔不也附乙辛，欲實其誣，與訛都斡等密奏：「太子謀亂事本實，臣不首，恐事覺連坐。」 When the crown prince was slandered and the inquiry found nothing, Tabuye sided with Yixin to make the charge stick; with Eduwo and others he secretly memorialized: "The crown prince's plot of rebellion was real; if I do not come forward first, I fear that when it is discovered I will be punished with the rest."

天祚嗣位，以塔不也黨乙辛，出為特免部節度使。 When Tianzu succeeded to the throne, Tabuye, as a partisan of Yixin, was posted out as military commissioner of the Tejian tribe.

及樞密使耶律阿思大索乙辛舊黨，塔不也以賂獲免。 When Privy Commissioner Yelü Asi launched a sweeping purge of Yixin's old faction, Tabuye bought his way free.
