Let us enter Oxford by the Iffley Road, in the year 1578. We behold, as AGAS enthusiastically writes: "A citie seated, rich in everything, Girt with wood and water, meadow, corn, and hill."
"Oxford"
Lang, Andrew
The AGAS of the Spahi, captains of the horsemen, five at one hundred and fifty aspers to either of them, maketh sterling one thousand nine hundred threescore and eleven pounds.
"Voyager's Tales"
Richard Hakluyt
The viziers took their places; the Sultan's divan remains vacant; nearest to it sits the Grand Vizier; farther back sit the pashas, AGAS, and begs.
