    Notes He was transferred from the Transylvanian princely chancellery to the service of Archbishop István Szuhay of Eger, where he assisted him in the peace negotiations during the last years of the Long Turkish War. In 1604, he joined the corps of the Habsburgs’ eastern interpreters and served for a longer period in Prague and Vienna. In addition to his activities as translator and interpreter, he regularly accompanied Ottoman delegations and carried out minor missions at the court of the Pasha of Buda. He was involved in the corrections of the peace of Zsitvatork and the peace of Komárom.
