12.8.2

When he mounts the throne, the chamberlains and the heralds call out in loud voices: "In the name of God!" Then the people come forward to greet him: first the qāḍīs, the preachers, the scholars, the shaykhs, and the Sultan's brothers, relatives and in-laws; then the aʿizza; then the vizier; then the commanders of the troops; then the chiefs of the mamlūks; then the senior soldiers. They greet him one after another without crowding or jostling.
