Translation: The Turks' leader. "Silziboulus, the Turks' leader, indicated that the Romans' friend was no less congenial to himself, and their enemy likewise. Since at that time the Romans were waging war on the Persians on the basis of the pronouncement, it was necessary for him also to attack the Persians at the right time."[1]

pi 2799, where the name is given as Siziboulos; but the present version is the one consistently used by
Menander for the Turkish Khan of the mid 6th cent. CE whom Arab writers call Sinjibu.
