Sukman ibn Artuq

Sukman ibn Artuq ibn Aksak; he and his brother Abu al-Ghazi held al-Ruha and Saruj after their father's death in 483 AH, and when the Franks took Antioch in 491 he won renown in the amirs' counter-siege — he left Jerusalem under safe-conduct when al-Afdal of Egypt took it, fought a running war with Kerbogha of Mosul in which his son Yaquti was captured, joined Jikirmish in the 497 jihad that routed the Franks and captured Count Baldwin of al-Ruha, and after Yaquti's killing took Mardin itself, fixing his rule over it with Hisn Kayfa and Nisibis.
