 it is the right of the king when he goes on a journey or a pleasure that he should always have with him a garment to wear money to pay for his expenses whips to discipline him chains for the disobedient weapons for the enemies protectors to be behind him and in front of him a companion to whom he can confide his secrets a scholar to ask him about the events of his affair and the law of his religion and a distraction to shorten his night and increase his benefits.
ومن حق الملك إذا خرج لسفر أو نزهة، أن لا يفارقه خلع للكساء، وأموال للصلات، وسياط للأدب، وقيود للعصاة، وسلاح للأعداء، وحماة يكونون من ورائه وبين يديه، ومؤنس يفضي إليه بسره، وعالم يسأله عن حوادث أمره، وسنة شريعته، ومله يقصر ليله، ويكثر فوائده.
