Translation So after Izit fully accepted the reigns of governance of the kingdom of the Saracens through succession as his brother had died, an army of his own people, who managed protection in the Persian lands, fomented a rebellion and prepared for civil war. And thus he sent his brother named above a while back- by the name Muzilima- with an innumerable army into the Babylonian plains over the Tigris river. A battle was fought, and immediately the battle line of the rebels collapsed in wondrous flight and the leader of the criminal act- called Izit- was caught, but they spared his life.
