تحفة النظار في غرايب الامصار وعجايب الاسفار 13.26.1

13.26.1

On the fourth of Shawwāl the Sultan halted at a palace called Tilbat — with i under the first dotted t, no vowel on the l, a over the single-dotted b, then a t like the first — which is seven miles from the capital. The vizier ordered us to go out to him, and we went out, each person with a gift of horses, camels, Khurāsānī fruits, Egyptian swords, mamlūks, and sheep brought from the land of the Turks. We reached the gate of the palace, where all the newcomers had gathered, and they went in to the Sultan according to their ranks, and he bestowed on them linen garments embroidered with gold.
