Mubarak al-Anmati (1)
He was a man of vast wealth; on the day of his death he left three hundred thousand dinars and no heir except a single daughter in Baghdad. He died in Egypt.

Abu al-Fawaris, son of Bahaʾ al-Dawlah (2)
He was a harsh and defiant tyrant. Whenever he became drunk he would flog one of his companions—or even his vizier—with two hundred lashes, having first made him swear by divorce that he would neither groan nor tell anyone about it. It is said that his attendants poisoned him; when he died they cried out with the battle-cry of his brother, Abu Kalijar.

Abu Muhammad ibn Babshadh, vizier of Abu Kalijar (3)
Muʿizz al-Dawlah had conferred upon him the honorifics Falak al-Dawlah, Sayyid al-Ummah, Wazir al-Wuzaraʾ, and ʿImad al-Mulk. He was later handed over [after that] to Jalal al-Dawlah, who imprisoned him, and he died in this year.

Abu ʿAbd Allah al-Mutakallim (4)
He also died this year; this is how Ibn al-Jawzi records him, in brief.

Ibn Ghalbun (5)
Abu Muhammad ʿAbd al-Muḥsin ibn Muḥammad ibn Aḥmad ibn Ghalib (6), first a Syrian and later a native of Tyre, was a consummate poet with an eloquent and graceful dīwān. He once composed a splendid ode for one notable, then recited it before another leader known as Dhū al-Manqibatayn. He added but a single line:
“All the virtues are yours—why settle for only two?”
The man rewarded him with a handsome gift (7). Someone remarked, “That poem is not really about you.” He replied, “That single line alone is a complete ode.” Among his verses—may Allah Most High have mercy on him—is what he said of a miser with whom he lodged:
“A brother whose heart my coming sorely wounded,
Just as hunger (8) has wounded me.”
