At the beginning of this year, the Sultan of Egypt, al-Sham, the Two Holy Sanctuaries (al-Ḥaramayn), and the regions connected to them, as well as the Hijaz and other places, was Sultan al-Ṣāliḥ Salāḥ ad-Dīn b. al-Malik an-Nāṣir Muḥammad b. al-Malik al-Manṣūr Qalāwūn al-Ṣāliḥī. The Sultan was the son of the daughter of Tengiz, the deputy (nāʾib) of al-Sham. Tengiz himself had served as a deputy in the Nāṣirīyah state.
The Sultan's deputy in the land of Egypt was Emir Sayf ad-Dīn Kubilāy al-Nāṣirī, and his vizier was Qāḍī Muwafaq ad-Dīn. The judges (quḍāt) of Egypt were those whose names had been mentioned in the previous year. Among them was Qāḍī al-Quḍāt ʿIzz ad-Dīn b. Jamāʿ al-Shāfn. In this year, he remained as a muǧāwir (resident) in the Noble Hijaz. His place was overseen by Qāḍī Ṭāj ad-Dīn al-Munāwī. The secret secretary (sirr kātib) was Qāḍī ʿAlā ad-Dīn b. Faḍlullāh al-ʿAdawī. The administrators of the country were these three emirs: Sayf ad-Dīn Shaykhūn, Surkatmīsh al-Nāṣirī, and Emir al-Kabīr Dawaddār ʿIzz ad-Dīn Mughultāy al-Nāṣirī.
At the beginning of this year, Emir Sayf ad-Dīn Shaykhūn had been in office for about a month. The deputy of Dimashq was Emir ʿAlā ad-Dīn ʿAlī al-Mardānī. The judges of Dimashq were those whose names had been mentioned in the previous year. The overseer (nāẓir) of the Dimashq councils (dīwān) was Ṣāḥib Shams ad-Dīn Mūsā b. Ṭāj Isḥāq. The secret secretary was Qāḍī Nāṣir ad-Dīn b. Sharaf Yaʿqūb. The orator (khaṭīb) of the city was Jamāʿ ad-Dīn Maḥmūd b. Jumla, and the muḥtasib (market inspector) was Shaykh ʿAlā ad-Dīn al-Anṣārī. The muḥtasib was a close associate of Shaykh Bahāʾ ad-Dīn b. Imām al-Mashhadī. At the same time, he also served as a teacher (mudarris) at the ʾAmīnīyah Madrasa in his place.
In the month of Rabīʿ al-Ākhir, Emir ʿAlā ad-Dīn Mughultāy, who had been imprisoned in Alexandria and then released, came to Dimashq. Previously, when he himself was in power, it had been decided that now he should be sent to be with Ḥamzah Aytmāsh. Ḥamzah Aytmāsh was the deputy of Tripoli. Mincūk, who had previously been a vizier in Egypt, was imprisoned together with Mughultāy in Alexandria. He was also exiled to the city of Suġd. There he remained idle and without office. Indeed, Mughultāy was also ordered to reside in Tripoli unemployed and powerless. They were awaiting the judgment that Almighty Allah would grant. Our account on this matter ends here. Allah knows best.
