Moreover, there was no beautiful woman whom he might desire, but he got
hold of her; if she were unmarried, forcing her to be his wife, if
otherwise, compelling her to consent to his desires. Whenever he knew of
any one who had a pretty daughter, certain ruffians of his would go to the
father, and say: ‘What say you? Here is this pretty daughter of yours;
give her in marriage to the Bailo Achmath (for they called him “the
Bailo,” or, as we should say, “the Vicegerent”),[NOTE 3] and we will
arrange for his giving you such a government or such an office for three
years.’ And so the man would surrender his daughter. And Achmath would go
to the Emperor, and say: ‘Such a government is vacant, or will be vacant
on such a day. So-and-So is a proper man for the post.’ And the Emperor
would reply: ‘Do as you think best;’ and the father of the girl was
immediately appointed to the government. Thus either through the ambition
of the parents, or through fear of the Minister, all the beautiful women
were at his beck, either as wives or mistresses. Also he had some
five-and-twenty sons who held offices of importance, and some of these,
under the protection of their father”s name, committed scandals like his
own, and many other abominable iniquities. This Achmath also had amassed
great treasure, for everybody who wanted office sent him a heavy bribe.
