The Sultan appointed to travel with me with this gift the amīr Ẓahīr al-Dīn al-Zanjānī, one of the most eminent men of learning, and the eunuch Kāfūr the sharbdār, to whom the gift was entrusted. He sent with us the amīr Muḥammad al-Harawī with a thousand horsemen to escort us to the place where we would take ship. The envoys of the king of al-Ṣīn travelled in our company, fifteen men whose chief was called Tursī, with about a hundred servants. We set out in a large company and a great camp, and the Sultan ordered that we be given hospitality for the duration of our journey through his lands.
