Alternative form of Seljuk, Seljuk Bey.

According to the Malik-Nāma, [...] the progenitor of the Saljuq family was one Duqaq, called Temür-Yalïgh ("iron-bow"). He and his son Saljuq served the "king of the Turks", i.e. the Yabghu, with Saljuq holding the important military office of Sü-Bashï.

But relations between the king and Saljuq did not remain cordial and Saljuq soon migrated to Jand, where he and his followers embraced Islam and expelled the governor of the "king of the Turks".
