History of Liao, Chapter 13Volume 13 Annals 13: Shengzong 4 · 1 passage

庚午，以宣徽使阿沒裏家奴閻貴為豐州刺史。 On gengwu day Yan Gui, a household slave of palace attendant Amoli, was appointed prefect of Feng Prefecture.

History of Liao, Chapter 79Volume 79 Biographies 9: Shi Fang, Yelu Xianshi, Nu Li, Guo Xi, Yelu Ameili · 1 passage

阿沒裏性好聚斂，每從征所掠人口，聚而建城，請為豐州，就以家奴閻貴為刺史，時議鄙之。 Ameli was by nature fond of amassing wealth; on every campaign he gathered the people taken in plunder, assembled them to build a city, asked that it be made Feng Prefecture, and appointed his household slave Yan Gui as prefect—an act widely despised at the time.
