…Hama, towards Halab.
Another embassy meanwhile arrives from the Ottoman camp which, in deceptive guise, brings costly gifts to the Sultan and also to the Caliph Al-Mutawakkil III and Vizier, with the request of Selim I for a supply of Egyptian sugar and confectionery.
It is also intimated that legal pronouncements against the Shah of Persia Ismail I had forced him again to prepare for war and take the field.
The Chancellor Mughla Baig is sent with presents in return; but by the time he reaches the Ottoman camp, Selim I has shed his guise of peaceful intent: now, to show his contempt for the Egyptians, he treats the Embassy ignominiously, and sends back the Chancellor shaven and shorn, and mounted on a lame and wretched animal, with the rest on foot.
