In the same year:
Al-Ashraf (1) Abu al-‘Abbas Ahmad, son of the celebrated jurist al-Qadi al-Fadil, set out as an envoy on behalf of al-Kamil Muhammad, the ruler of Egypt, to the caliph al-Mustansir Billah [in Baghdad]. He was treated with great honor and returned highly esteemed.

In the same year:
Al-Malik al-Muzaffar Abu Saʿid Kukburi (2) ibn Zayn al-Din, lord of Irbil, entered Baghdad, a city he had never before visited. The ceremonial procession went out to welcome him, and the caliph exchanged greetings with him face-to-face on two separate occasions. This was a distinction envied by the other kings of the realms, who asked leave to travel so that they might attain the same honor; but they were not permitted, for the frontier fortresses had to be guarded. He then returned to his dominion revered and honored.

Among the eminent figures who died this year were:
Ibn Maʿti (3) the grammarian—Yahya ibn (4) al-Maʿti ibn ʿAbd al-Nur, author of the Alfiyya (5) and other useful works on grammar, surnamed Zayn al-Din. He studied under al-Kindi and others, then traveled to Egypt, where he died in Cairo on the first of Dhu al-Hijjah of this year. Shaykh Shihab al-Din Abu Shamah, who had journeyed to Egypt that same year, attended his funeral. It is also reported that al-Malik al-Kamil attended it (6). He was buried near the grave of al-Muzani in the Qarafa cemetery on the Shafiʿi Road, on the passer-by’s left—may Allah have mercy on him.

Al-Dakhwar the physician, founder of the Dakhwariyya (7)—Muʿadhdhab al-Din ʿAbd al-Rahim ibn ʿAli ibn Hamid, known as al-Dakhwar.
