The Vezirs of the _kubbeh_ (cupola) who did not attain the rank of
Grand Vezir were:—Mustafa Pasha, the Bosnian; Ferhád Pasha, the
Albanian; Khaïn Ahmed Pasha, a rebellious Albanian who was hanged at
Cairo; Gózlujeh Kásím Pasha, who conquered Anabóli (Napoli), in the
Morea, and built the mosque bearing his name opposite Islámból; Hájí
Mohammed Pasha, poisoned at Bodin (Buda) by a Jew who boasted that he
had poisoned no less than forty Moslems; Khosru Pasha, the brother of
Khojeh Lála Mustafa Pasha; Khádem Ibrahím Pasha, a man of a brave and
generous disposition, who built the mosque bearing his name within the
Silivrí-gate; Khádem Heider Pasha, who was chief of the white eunuchs
in the harem, but was dismissed on suspicion of having been accessory
to the murder of the Prince Mustafa: he was an eloquent and learned
man, and died Governor of Hersek (Herzegovina); Balak Mustafa Pasha,
a Bosnian, Balak, in the Albanian language, signifying ‘old’: he was
Governor of Egypt and Capudan of the fleet, and was buried at Iyyúb;
Dámád Ferhád Pasha,—he was brother-in-law of Prince Mohammed, and was
an excellent calligrapher: a copy of the Korán of his penmanship may
even now be seen at the mausoleum of Sultán Báyazíd; Mustafa Pasha, who
was descended from Khaled, son of Valíd, and younger brother of Shemsi
Pasha: he was educated in the imperial harem, made Chakirji-bashi,
commanded the expedition against Malta when Governor of Rumeïli, died
on the pilgrimage to Mecca, and was buried by my father.
