Note 35 — Chapter IV
Reading edition
Zâym means, I believe, the superior of any order: I should translate it by the word president. Capugi means a doorkeeper, and Capugi-bashi, a head doorkeeper. But these appellations do not convey to the mind the nature of the duties allotted to such persons by the government. A Capugi-bashi and a Zâym are great men, who are entrusted with the most important missions.
