HORTAGILERS, in the grand feignior's court, up-holsterers, or tapestry-hangers. The grand feignior has constantly four hundred in his retinue when he is in the camp: these go always a day's journey before him, to fix upon a proper place for his tent, which they prepare first; and afterwards those of the officers, according to their rank.
