Description

The fame of his military skills and boldness was very widespread ... his spear and arrow were unequalled by the arrows of all other Turks, and he was superior to them all in shooting with a bow
nimium diuulgabatur fama militie et audacie ... hasta et sagitta omnium Turcorum sagittis incomparabilis erat, arcu omnes preibat in sagittando. Albert of Aachen IV.8
In every expedition he was furnished with no less than a hundred extremely swift horses, so that [if one or two were hurt], the rest were enough to ensure his constant presence in battle, by which he was always in the van and agressive to the enemy
Ad omnem expeditionem non minus centum equis cursu uelocissimis munitus erat, ... alii sufficerent in belli assiduitate, quo semper preuolans et infestus hostibus ferebatur. Albert of Aachen IV.8
