	24.IV.1657	Toleration of Constancians	I, the Khan Tahmaseb II Osman, by the by the Khvarenah of Zurvan, Lord of the Four Quarters, Suzerain of the Blue Horizon, Restorer of the Ancienty Dignity, Graced by the Khvarenah Artaḥšásta, Unconquered in Ninety Battles, Despoiler of the Khalypsine, Ever Victorious, Unblemished, Custodian of the Two Ziggurats, Keeper of the Flayed Skin Throne, &etc, hereby declare that the Constancians granted with this Firman are under my protection. Know then that I command that: No one shall disturb or give harm to these people and their works in my Khanate. They shall live in peace in my state. These people who have become emigrants, shall have security and liberty. They reside at my pleasure in their abodes where they are located in the borders of my state. No one from my Khanate, whether viziers, Satraps, clerks, or ghazis, will break their honour or give any harm to them. No one shall insult, put in danger, or attack these lives, properties, and facilities of these people! Also, any person employed by these people, whatever their country, shall have the same rights. Thus speaks Tahmaseb II Osman, that these divine oaths keep, lest a storm of locusts render incomprehensible all those unworthy who would hold these sacred words into contempt. By declaring this Firman, I swear on my sword by the Holy Name of Zurvan, who has created the ground and sky, Zurvan's Prophet Zarathustra, and 124,000 Prophets that; no one from my citizens, my subjects, nor my slaves, will react or behave the opposite of this Firman.
