[3][4] According to the "Notes of the Imperial Geographical Society", Surakat "ruled over the peoples from Shamakhi to the borders of Kabarda region and the Chechens and Tushi were in dependence on him".

[13] Muhammad Rafi writes about Surakat in "Tarikhi Dagestan" that he was the lord of the Avar lands, an apostate strong tyrant, a bearer of evil, violence and misfortune with the title nutsal (ruler) – the son of Sirtan.

As a result of the battle Surakat died and his son Bayar fled to Tusheti[14] (according to another version, he survived and fled to Tusheti too[15]) and began to rule in their lands Masumbey from the family of Sheikh Ahmad, a descendant of Hamza, the uncle of the prophet Muhammad[2] According to Abbasgulu Bakikhanov, Surakat is a convert from Muslims to pagans,[1] according to another version, to Christianity.

In the later compiled sources of the "Chronicle of the Nakhchu Tribe" and "Tarikhi Argvani" of the 18th century, he and his brother are called Jews at all.

However, in the village of Khunzakh two Arabic inscriptions were found on a local stone of Islamic content, which according to the handwriting can be attributed to the 11th–12th centuries.
