While the gifts were being brought and before food, fierce camels and fierce elephants\[2387\] were set to fight on an island opposite,\[2388\] so too a few rams; thereafter wrestlers grappled. After the chief of the food had been set out, Khwāja \`Abdu'sh-shahīd and Khwāja Kalān were made to put on surtouts (\_jabbah\_) of fine muslin,\[2389\] spotted with gold-embroidery, and suitable dresses of honour, and those headed by Mullā Farrūkh and \_Ḥāfiẕ\_\[2390\] had jackets put on them. On Kūchūm Khān's envoy\[2391\] and on Ḥasan \_Chalabi's\_ younger brother\[2392\] were bestowed silken head-wear (\_bāshlīq\_) and gold-embroidered surtouts of fine muslin, with suitable dresses of honour. Gold-embroidered jackets and silk coats were presented to the envoys of Abū-sa\`īd Sl. (\_Aūzbeg\_), of Mihr-bān Khānīm and her son Pulād Sl., and of Shāh Ḥasan \[Sidenote: Fol. 352b.\] (\_Arghūn\_). The two Khwājas and the two chief envoys, that is to say Kūchūm Khān's retainer and Ḥasan \_Chalabī's\_ younger brother, were presented with a silver stone's weight of gold and a gold stone's weight of silver.
