In this same month of Shaʿbān, Qāḍī Muḥyī al-Dīn ibn Faḍl Allāh was transferred from the kitābat al-sirr (Confidential Chancellery) in Egypt to the corresponding office in Syria, while Sharaf ibn Shams al-Dīn ibn al-Shihāb Maḥmūd was reassigned to the Egyptian kitābat al-sirr.

On the twentieth of Shaʿbān (1) the Friday congregational prayer was held in the al-Shāmiyyah al-Barrāniyyah Mosque. The judges and amirs were present, and the sermon was delivered by Shaykh Zayn al-Dīn ʿAbd al-Nūr al-Maghribī (2) at the suggestion of Emir Ḥusām al-Dīn al-Yushmaqdār, the chamberlain of Syria; afterwards Kamāl al-Dīn ibn al-Zakī (3) preached in his stead.

During the same month the deputy of the sultan ordered that the houses stretching from the Horse Market to Maydān al-Ḥaṣā be whitewashed, and this was carried out (4).

That month the Euphrates rose to an unprecedented height, remaining in flood for about twelve days. It ruined large amounts of property at al-Raḥbah, destroyed the bridge near Dayr Basr, and sent prices there soaring. Work began on repairing the bridge, but it collapsed a second time.

On Saturday, 9 Shawwāl, the Syrian pilgrimage caravan set out, commanded by Sayf al-Dīn Urādan (5) and accompanied by its judge, Jamāl al-Dīn ibn al-Sharīshī (6), who is now the judge of Ḥimṣ.

That year the sultan himself performed the ḥajj, traveling with the Chief Judge al-Qazwīnī, ʿIzz al-Dīn ibn Jamāʿah, Muwafaq al-Dīn the Ḥanbalī, and seventy amirs.

On the night of Thursday, 11 Shawwāl, proceedings were initiated against al-Ṣāḥib ʿIzz al-Dīn Ghabriyāl at the Nājībiyyah al-Jawwāniyyah Madrasa; he was detained, a large portion of his wealth was confiscated, and he was released in Muḥarram of the following year.

Among the notable figures who died this year was Shaykh ʿAbd al-Raḥmān (7) ibn Abī Muḥammad ibn Muḥammad, known as Ibn Sulṭān al-Qaramazī (8), a man renowned for his devotion.
