Muhammad Rizo Ogahiy

Muhammad Rizo Erniyozbek o'g'li was born on 17 December 1809 in the village of Qiyot, near Khiva, into a family of mirabs, and lost his father early. His uncle Munis, a court poet and historian, raised and educated him; when Munis died in 1829, the khan gave him his post, that of the man who distributes water among the lands. A travel accident left him with a crippled leg in 1845, and he had to leave the post in 1857. He continued his uncle's chronicle, wrote five others and translated nearly twenty books from Persian. He died in 1874.
