Abstract
Contrary to earlier assumptions, the rich burial in qurgan no. 3 at Üc Tepe cannot be the inhumation of a Sabir or Avar warrior or that of a Persian officer. According to the testimony of the inscribed golden signet ring, whose legend runs as follows: Silig i abarzeniganbed “Silig the commander of the guards of the royal tent”, the burial belonged to a Turk nobleman, Silig by name, who entered the service of Xusro I Šahanšah and was appointed by him to commander of the guards of his general headquarters. The Karnamag of Xusro I mentions two settlements of Turkic tribes in Iran in 540/541 A.D. and 568 A.D. Very likely it was the latter one in the course of which the Turk chief entered the military service of the Persian king.
