So is the imperial sign (nīşān-ı hümāyūn)! 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.

Sāġomon(?), son of Malakoy(?), the bearer of the imperial sign of exalted fame, was assigned and appointed to work in the interpretership service of the aforesaid Roman emperor’s envoy who will reside in my threshold of felicity. The ambassador requested my favors to issue to him a renewed interpretership charter as it has been the practice in accordance with my imperial letter of agreement (ʿahdnāme-i ḥumāyūn). Thus, it has been written along with the conditions.
