[Sidenote: Munera Eidem Oblata.] Omnes Quoque
Nuncij Tunc Ab Eo Recepti Sunt, Sed Paucissimi Tentorium Eius Intrauerunt.
Ibi Vero Tanta Donaria Ab Ipsis Nuncijs Fuerunt Ei Prasentata, Quod Quasi
Videbantur Infinita, Videlicet In Samitis Ac Purpureis Et Baldakinis Ac
Cingulis Sericis Cum Auro Praparatis, Pellibus Etiam Nobilibus, Caterisque
Muneribus.
Quoddam etiam Solinum, siue tentoriolum, quod super caput
Imperatoris portatur, fuit eidem prasentatum, quod totum erat cum gemmis
praparatum.
Quidam vero preafectus vnius prouincia adduxit ei Camelos
multos cum Baldakinis tectos. Similiter sella posita cum instrumentis
quibusdam erant, in quibus homines interius sedere valebant. Equos etiam
multos et mulos adducebant eidem phaleratos et armatos, quosdam quidem de
corio, et quosdam de ferro. Nos etiam requisiti fuimus, an ei munera dare
vellemus: sed iam facultas non erat, quoniam omnia fere nostra
consumpseramus. [Sidenote: Currus.] Ibidem longe a stationibus super montem
erant positi currus plusquam quingenti, qui omnes auro et argento ac
sericis vestibus erant pleni. Cunctique inter imperatorem et Duces diuisi
fuerunt, singulique Duces inter homines suos partes suas, vt eis placuit,
diuiserunt.

29.
[Sidenote: Cuyne heareth the Legates.] In the same place where the Emperour
was established into his throne, we were summoned before him. And Chirigay,
his chiefe secretary hauing written down our names, and the names of them
that sent vs, with the name of the Duke of Solangi, and of others, cried
out with a loude voice, rehearsing the said names before the Emperour, and
the assembly of his Dukes.
