the Khwarazmians, for they had more than once raided his domains. He therefore surrendered Jaʿbar to the ruler of Aleppo, al-Malik al-ʿAzīz, who compensated him with the district of ʿIzzāz, part of Aleppo’s lands. He then went to Aleppo to stay with his sister, the lady al-Ṣāḥiba, and afterward died in ʿIzzāz in 640 AH, still in the prime of life. His body was conveyed to the Firdaus cemetery outside Aleppo, where he was laid to rest.

His sister, the lady al-Ṣāḥiba Khātūn Ḍayfa (1), daughter of al-Malik al-ʿĀdil, wife of her cousin al-Malik al-Ẓāhir Ghāzi, and mother of the ruler of Aleppo al-Malik al-ʿAzīz, also passed away. Noble, highly esteemed, and decisive in her commands, she died the same year, 640 AH, in Aleppo at the age of fifty-nine. She had been born in Aleppo when her father first took possession of the city. Before marrying her, al-Ẓāhir had wed her sister al-Sitt Ghāziya, who likewise bore him children but preceded her in death. Al-Ṣāḥiba was devout, just, and politically astute; during her son’s minority she governed the realm in person and was renowned for her abundant charity and almsgiving.

In that same year died the Atabeg lady Turkān (2), daughter of the lord of Mosul ʿIzz al-Din Masʿūd ibn Mawdūd ibn Zankī and wife of Sultan al-Malik al-Ashraf. She passed away in Damascus and was buried in her own mausoleum near the White Bridge.

That year also saw the death of al-Sitt al-Fīrūzjiyya ʿĀʾisha (3), sister of the Caliph al-Mustaḍīʾ and aunt of the Caliph al-Nāṣir. She lived to the age of eighty and died in Dhu al-Ḥijjah, at the very beginning of the reign of her great-nephew al-Mustaʿṣim ibn al-Mustanṣir ibn al-Ẓāhir ibn al-Nāṣir (4).
