The Turks in turn profited from the affair, and Ashinas most of all, thanks to the central role he played in its resolution.[14] After the return from the Amorium campaign, Ashinas was given control of a super-governorate over the provinces of Egypt, which he already controlled, Syria and the Jazira. As he remained in Samarra and merely appointed resident governors in his name, in practical terms this most likely meant that Ashinas had control over the revenues of these provinces.[26] Nevertheless, according to Hugh N. Kennedy, this move "represented a further centralizing of power, for the under-governors of the provinces seldom appeared at court and played little part in the making of political decisions".[26] In 839, his daughter Utranja was wed to the son of al-Afshin in a lavish ceremony attended by the Caliph in person. Following the arrest of al-Afshin in 840, however, the couple were also arrested.[14]
