MARCO POLO BOOK IV.
,►
Soon after he had seized the government, word came
to him how Argon his nephew was advancing with all his
host. Then he tarried not, but straightway summoned
his Barons and all his people, and in a week had fitted
out a great army of horse to go to meet Argon. And he
went forth light of heart, as being confident of victory,
showing no dismay, and saying on all occasions that he
desired nought so much as to take Argon, and put him
to a cruel death.'
NOTE r.—Abáká died at Hamadan ist April 1282, twelve years after the defeat of Borrak.
NOTE 2.—This last sentence is in Pauthier's text, but not in the G. T. The thing was a regular Tartar custom (vol. i. pp. 253, 256), and would scarcely be " reprobated by all."
NOTE 3.—Acomat Soldan is AHMAD, a younger son of Hulaku, whose Mongol name was Tigúdar, and who had been baptized in his youth by the name of Nicolas, but went over to Islam, and thereby gained favour in Persia. On the death of his brother Ábáká he had a strong party and seized the throne. Arghún continued in sullen defiance, gathering means to assist his claim.
