Chapter XX: Conclusion

En vertu des pouvoirs qui m’ont été donnés, j’ai conclu le présent Traité, qui sera ratifié par les deux Parties Contractantes, et dont les ratifications seront échangées à Constantinople, dans le terme de six semaines, ou plutôt si faire se pourra; j’y ai apposé mon cachet, et mis ma signature, et je l’ai remis à leurs Excellences les Plénipotentiaires de la Cour de Russie à Pétersbourg, en échange de la pièce qu’ils m’ont remise.

Fait le 18 Ramazan, 1249.
