In that same year Sallār died, having been slain, as mentioned earlier (1).
• The ṣāḥib Amīn al-Dīn (2): Abū Bakr ibn al-Wajīh ʿAbd al-ʿAẓīm ibn Yūsuf, better known as Ibn al-Daqqāqī (3).
• Al-Ḥājj Bahādur (4), deputy governor of Tripoli, passed away there.
• The amir Sayf al-Dīn Qabjaq (5), deputy of Aleppo, died in that city and was laid to rest in his own mausoleum in Ḥamāh on the second of Jumada al-Ākhirah. He was a gallant, courageous man. During the days of Lājīn (6) he had been appointed deputy of Damascus, but he fled to the Tatars out of fear of Lājīn and later returned with them. Through his efforts the Muslims found relief in the year of Ghāzān, as we have already related. His fortunes then shifted repeatedly until he died in Aleppo; after him Asandamur assumed the deputyship, only to die as well at the end of the year (7).
• Shaykh Karīm al-Dīn Abū al-Qāsim ʿAbd al-Karīm ibn al-Ḥusayn al-Āmilī (8), Shaykh al-Shuyūkh of Egypt (10). He enjoyed close relations with the emirs and was once removed from his post in favor of Ibn Jamāʿah (11).
He died on the night preceding Saturday, the seventh of Shawwāl, in the Khānqāh Saʿīd al-Suʿadāʾ. After him Shaykh ʿAlāʾ al-Dīn al-Qūnawī assumed the post, as noted above.

(3) In the printed edition it reads al-Riqqaqi (with a ra); the same appears in Fawat al-Wafayat, where, in discussing Kamal al-Din b. al-Shirishi, it states that Ibn al-Riqqaqi was director of the nuzara in Damascus (Fawat al-Wafayat, vol. 1, pp. 121–122).
(4) His biography is in Al-Durar al-Kamina (vol. 1, p. 500), naming him “Bahadur al-Mansuri al-Halabi,” and in Al-Nujum al-Zahira (vol. 9, p. 216), which notes that al-Nasir rejoiced at his death because he was the greatest of the Mansuriyya emirs.
(5) His biography appears in Al-Durar al-Kamina (vol. 3, pp. 241–243), which records his death in Jumada I; he is also mentioned in Al-Nujum al-Zahira (vol. 9, p. 216) and Al-Daris (vol. 1, p. 304).

(7) His isnad reaches Mir; he died in 711 AH, as will be noted below.

(10) His biography is in Al-Durar al-Kamina (vol. 2, p. 397) and Al-Dalil al-Shafi (p. 424), stating “ʿAbd al-Karim b. al-Hasan, Shaykh Karim al-Din al-Amili.”
