It appears that there was a translation problem on the Ottoman side in the writing of this order or at least a lack of attention to details which is reflected in the wording of the text. The Turkish text reads "two captain-lieutenants named Prinz Holerculer." Obviously, two captain-lieutenants cannot be the same person. Also, a prince would not have traveled to the Ottoman capital without due ceremonies. In reality, as we learn from the travelogue of Cornelius von den Driesch, the prince mentioned here was Friedrich Wilhelm, the Prince of Hohenzollern who was an imperial Field Marshal in the Habsburg army at the time. The two captain-lieutenants were two couriers from his cuirassier regiment. These two men, >whose names the secretary Driesch did not mention, had arrived in Istanbul between September 6 and 8 and had brought letters from Germany. Driesch noted that one of these lieutenants had spent a long time as a prisoner in the Ottoman lands and could speak very good Turkish. For the note about their departure, see Driesch, p. 291. fī evāil-i Muḥarrem sene 1132
Decree to the vizier of Nissa (Niš) and to the judges, aides-de-camp of janissary commanders, janissary guards, provincial notables, and functionaries situated on the road from my threshold of felicity to the Austrian border: General [Damian Hugo] Count of Virmont—may God end his days propitiously—who came to my gate that is the center of state as grand ambassador from the Roman emperor, the paragon of the great commanders of the community of Messiah, sent a sealed petition to my threshold of felicity and requested my imperial decree [about the following matter]: Two captain-lieutenants [from the prince] named Brinc Holerculern(?) who formerly came from Vienna are now going and returning to Vienna along with their men, their servants, and seventeen horses that they purchased. When they arrive and enter the administrative territory and town of whomever among you, themselves, their servants, garments, and horses shall not be interfered with and attacked during the journey, at stations, and at stages of the journey. Their passing shall not be prevented. No one shall be allowed to injure them with claims of a variety of fees. Each of you shall pay attention and take great care of delivering them safe and sound from one of you to the other. My illustrious edict has been issued for [all] to act in the described way. So have I commanded! November 14 to November 23, 1719
