平章塔即吉素非勛舊，奴事倒剌沙，倔起宿衛，輒為右丞，俄升平章，年已七十，毛昏殊甚。 Grand councillor Taqaji was never a meritorious old follower; he slavishly served Doresh, rose abruptly from night guard duty, and was immediately made right vice chancellor, then soon promoted grand councillor; he is already 70, and his hair and eyes are extremely dim.
