Sadi Saïmen : Janissaire en garnison
Janissary in Garrison

Persons who were members of the novice camp were called bag boys or şadi because their names were written in a notebook kept inside the bag. They are dressed in green caftans and with a red belt.³⁹¹ They are the messenger soldiers of the Novice Corps, which trained soldiers for the Janissary Corps, and the people who walk as protectors on both sides of the horse that the grand vizier rides on.
