Lajin (1) together with a group of emirs was likewise arrested, and their treasuries and properties in both Egypt and Syria were placed under sequestration. The sultan then appointed Emir Sayf al-Din Mankutamur al-Ḥusāmī as deputy governor of Egypt. (These emirs who were taken into custody were the very ones who had supported him and pledged allegiance to al-ʿĀdil Kitbughā.)

Shaykh Kamal al-Din al-Sharīshī arrived from Egypt bearing a decree assigning him to teach at the Nāsiriyyah in place of the Shāmiyyah Barāniyyah; he delivered his inaugural lesson there on Saturday, the Day of ʿArafah. On Saturday, the twenty-third of Dhu al-Ḥijjah, Emir Shams al-Din Sunqur al-Aʿsar, the vizier of Egypt and superintendent of the bureaus (2), was arrested, and his wealth and holdings in Egypt and Syria were likewise impounded.

That same month in Egypt a public proclamation was made forbidding any of the People of the Covenant—ahl al-dhimmah—from riding a horse or a mule; whoever was found mounted on either would have it confiscated (3).

During this year the kingship of Yemen passed to Sultan al-Malik al-Muʾayyad Hizabr al-Din (4) Dāʾūd ibn al-Malik al-Muẓaffar, mentioned in the previous notice.

Among those of note who died this year were:

• The chief Hanbali judge of Egypt (5), ʿIzz al-Din ʿUmar ibn ʿAbd Allāh ibn ʿAwad al-Maqdisī al-Junbulī. He studied hadith, mastered the school, and served as judge in Egypt; his conduct and judgments were widely praised (6). He died in Ṣafar and was buried at al-Muqaṭṭam. He was succeeded by Sharaf al-Din ʿAbd al-Ghanī (7) ibn Yaḥyā ibn Muḥammad ibn ʿAbd Allāh ibn Naṣr al-Ḥarrānī in the Egyptian dominions.

• The shaykh, imām, ḥāfiẓ, and exemplar (8) ʿAfīf al-Din Abū Muḥammad ʿAbd al-Salām ibn Muḥammad ibn Mazrūʿ ibn Aḥmad ibn ʿAzzāz al-Miṣrī al-Ḥanbalī.
