c14.s3.6

This Sultan had a standing order that when there were any workmen out of employment in the city, they were to be sent to him. The prefect of police used to inquire through his subordinates in each ward, and bring such unemployed men to the Sultan, who used to give them work in his *karkhanahs* or in the offices of his ministers or in the households of the nobles, according to their capacity and desire. (Ibid, 334.)
