Testament of the ruler of the "vilayet Avar" Andunik in Arabic.

He was the son of the past nutsal Ibrahim I.[1] Throughout his reign, he tried to expand his possessions, but without significant success. He is known for the so-called "testament",[2] which is addressed to his nephew Bulach, at the end of which it says: "O son of my brother! If you want to become an emir like your brave ancestors, then try to cross these boundaries, not yielding even an land".[2] Among other things, the will lists the number of Nutsal's troops and another list mentions another of his nephew Khadzhiali Shamkhal, whom was also given a "testament".

The toponym Dagestan is also mentioned for the first time in this testament of 1485.[3]
