Siyar Aʿlām al-NubalāʾShams al‑Din al‑Dhahabi

—by the sword—committed outrageous acts, then reduced the inhabitants to his subjects. Nevertheless, he treated them with justice, allowed them to observe the outward rites of Islam, ordered that no swine be slaughtered there, continued to come in person to hear the Friday sermon, rewarded the preacher and the muezzins with gold, built ribats (hospices) for the Sufis, and was generous and respectful toward the Muslims.

As for Ilghazi, he died in Ramadan 516 AH at Mayyafariqin. He was the first to take possession of Mardin, and it has remained in the hands of his descendants down to the present. His son Shams al-Dawla Sulayman took Mayyafariqin, while another son, Husam al-Din Timurtash, seized Mardin. Their cousin, the emir Sulayman ibn ʿAbd al-Jabbar ibn Artuq, gained control of Aleppo until his kinsman Balak ibn Bahrām wrested it from him.

Sibt Ibn al-Jawzi states that Ilghazi died in 515 AH (1). He had been married to the daughter of the ruler of Damascus, Tughtekin, and his son Sulayman married the daughter of the ruler of Rūm; Sulayman died in 518 AH, whereupon Timurtash assumed authority over Mayyafariqin.
