تحفة النظار في غرايب الامصار وعجايب الاسفار 12.13.1

12.13.1

This Shihāb al-Dīn was a friend of the Malik al-Tujjār al-Kāzarūnī, surnamed Barwīz. The Sultan had granted the Malik al-Tujjār the city of Kanbāya as a fief and had promised to appoint him to the vizierate. So he sent to his friend Shihāb al-Dīn to come to him, and he came, having prepared a gift for the Sultan: an enclosure of cut woollen cloth decorated with gold leaf, a pavilion to match it, a tent and an annex tent, and a rest tent, all of decorated woollen cloth, and many mules. When Shihāb al-Dīn arrived with this gift to his friend the Malik al-Tujjār, he found him setting out for the capital with the revenues of his lands that he had collected and with a gift for the Sultan.
