Al Maszúdi (korabeli muzulmán) írja: In this city (Khazarian Itil) are Muslims, Christians, Jews and pagans. The Jews are the king, his attendants and the Khazars of his kind (vlsz. a fehérkazárok uralkodó törzse). The king of the Khazars had already become a Jew in the Caliphate of Harun al-Rashid (i.sz. 786 - 809 között, bár Maszudi 740-re teszi a kitérést) and he was joined by Jews from all lands of Islam and from the country of the Greeks (Bizánc). Indeed the king of the Greeks at the present time, the Year of the Hegira 332 (isz. 943-4) has converted the Jews in his kingdom to Christianity by coercion. Thus many Jews took flight from the country or the Greeks to Khazaria. A zsidó kazárok keresztény térítése pedig Bizáncban Bazil császár alatt: "How did they force them? Anyone refusing to accept their erroneous belief was placed in an olive mill under a wooden press, and squeezed in the way olives are squeezed in the mill"
