350 MARCO POLO BOOK II.
CHAPTER VII.
How THE KAAN REWARDED THE VALOUR OF HIS CAPTAINS.
So we will have done with this matter of Nayan, and
go on with our account of the great state of the Great
Kaan.
We have already told you of his lineage and of his
age ; but now I must tell you what he did after his
return, in regard to those barons who had behaved well

100 and woo weigh each of them 120 sa gi; and the
tablet with the lion's head engraven on it, which is that
of the commander of i o,000, weighs 220 saggi. And on
