One Ayoubite alone purchased twelve thousand young men: with them he repaired to Asia Minor, w he dressed them in rich, glittering garments, and called them his Mamelukes, that is, 'those he had acquired and paid for.' And now, listen, ye men of Cavalla, in this manner t arose in history a new tribe, a new race, and it gave itself the name of Mamelukes.
