• The moat was widened on the side that adjoins the Qaymaziyya, in the course of which many houses were demolished, together with the Hammam Qaymaz and an oven that had been endowed as a waqf for the Nūriyya Dār al-Ḥadīth. (1)

• In the same year (2) al-Muʿaẓẓam (3) built the funduq (caravanserai) that bears his name in the area of Qabr ʿĀtika, outside Bab al-Jābiya.

• That year al-Muʿaẓẓam also seized the fortress of Ṣarḥad from Ibn Qarāja (4), compensated him for it, and handed it over to his mamluk ʿIzz al-Dīn Aybak (5) al-Muʿaẓẓamī. It remained in Aybak’s possession until Najm al-Dīn Ayyūb wrested it from him in the year forty-four.

• During the same year King al-Muʿaẓẓam, the son of al-ʿĀdil, performed the ḥajj. He departed from al-Karak on dromedaries on the 11th of Dhū al-Qaʿda, accompanied by Ibn Musak and by his mamluk Aybak (6) ʿIzz al-Dīn, the ustādh al-dār (7), together with a large retinue. He travelled by the route of Tabūk and al-ʿUlā, built (8) the reservoir that is named after him, and constructed other water installations. When he reached the Prophetic City, its governor Sālim (9) came out to greet him, handed him the keys, and served him with full devotion. The governor of Mecca, Qatād (10), however, showed him no respect. Accordingly, after al-Muʿaẓẓam had completed his rites—he was performing a qirān pilgrimage—distributed among the residents the alms he had brought, and set off on the return journey, he took Sālim of Medina with him. Near Raʾs al-Māʾ he complained (11) to his father about the Meccan governor’s conduct. Al-ʿĀdil therefore dispatched, together with Sālim, an army to drive the governor from Mecca; when they reached the city he fled into the valleys, mountains, and deserts. On this pilgrimage al-Muʿaẓẓam left behind (many commendable public works) along the Ḥijāz road—may Allah reward him. (12)

• In the course of the same year the people of Damascus conducted their transactions with the black al-ʿĀdilī paper notes, but they were soon abolished and disappeared. (13)
