The Jochid state of the Dasht (Golden Horde)
دولة بني جوجي بالدست (القبيل الذهبي)
The state of the sons of Jochi (Dushi Khan) ibn Genghis in the Qipchaq Dasht from Filak to Bulgar; Jochi's sons Naju and Berke inherited it, Berke converting at a Bukhara shaykh's hand of Najm al-Din Kubra's school and seeking his brother Monke's leave to strike the caliphate's lands — their throne sat at Saray until Uzbek's reign when Islam spread among them and they intermarried with Egypt's kings.

Sarai and Uzbek
Their state was in Sarai until Uzbek ruled. Islam appeared among them, and they intermarried with the kings of Egypt. 1
