Then the Sheikh told him that one winter he had killed twenty thousand head in Sava, and another winter, seven thousand in Isfahan. After the King had ordered all the game to be taken to the camp, he mounted his horse and rode a league further on to fish with a casting net which he threw with his own hand. The Ambassador notified the Governor that since he was in a hurry he wished straightway to take his leave of the Sheikh, and that he should be informed. This was duly done, and the Sheikh summoned them and they went to the spot where he was kissed his hands and feet. The Ambassador His retinue did likewise, and the Sheikh personally gave each of them one of the fish that he had caught. On Monday, 11th September, at eleven o’clock in the morning, they struck camp and left with the troops. A short while after, the Sheikh sent the Ambassador four deer and a very large pig that he had killed the day before.
