            Together with his brother, Istemi (Silzibul/Sizabul in the Greek sources) founded the First Turk Empire in central Asia in the mid-6th century. In c.570, a Roman embassy led by Zemarchus arrived at his court in the hope to conclude an alliance against the Persians. The main source for this embassy are the fragments of Menander Protector, but it is also mentioned in Joh. Eph., EH 6.23.
