Excerpt from Three Years in Constantinople, Vol. 3 of 3: Or Domestic Manners of the Turks in 1844
Some persons have fallen into an error respecting the mode of pay ing respect to the Sultan. It is well known, however, that he expects all Franks to uncover their heads. His Highness always returns the compli ment in the manner described in the text; more must not be expected. Turkish Pashas who may be thus saluted, bow slightly, and raise the hand as high as the mouth.
